    From what I looked up it means something like dude or mate. It’s also used when expressing suprise? If native speaker has better insight I’d appreciate it.

      It’s pretty much just “dude”, vor talking with friends. Other widely used versions include “Digga” and “Bruder”

      The English “Yo” is a really good translation. You can use it to express surprise (“Alter! Wtf!” - “Yo! Wtf!”) or to address someone (“Alter, was geht?” - “Yo, whats up?”).

      “Yo” really is the best translation I can think of.
