Hi, i dont know why you spell it "maté", it should be just "mate",

That's English for you mate. We yanquis need the accent as a cue so as not to rhyme the word with; fate, date, rate, bait, or (especially) mate.
To be perfectly honest, until now, I did think it was properly spelled in Spanish with the "'". Thanks for cluing us (or at least, me) in.
