ándele

Hola, ¿en España se lo usa? Si quieres que tu amigo venga a la casa ¿qué se diría?

Ándele o Ándate O sólo significa, "Come on hurry up" como "date prisa"

en chile se usa ándate y significa que te vayas. Imperativo de andar

el lo mismo que vete.

Ándele lo he escuchado de mexicanos solamente, hasta el momento (ah? Angélica)

ándale means hurry up in Mexico. Outside of Mexico you would be better
understood if you use apúrrate.
Ándate can sometimes mean: Imagine that! If someone tells you a story
that is improbable but true (or perhaps fabricated), you can respond with
¡Ándate!--This is a Caribbean usage, and it would be interesting to know if
it can be used in the rest of the Spanish-speaking world and not be misunderstood.

The two words are ándele (usted) and ándale (tu). They have varied meanings, such as:
  • hurry up
  • get moving
  • that's right
  • go ahead

I didn't know that about "ándate". I don't think it would necessarily be universally understood.

Corrección: debe ser "apúrate" con una r.

Here we use "apurate"(vos, with accent on the "ra") or "apurá"(vos) - "apura"(tú)

I agree with David's translations about "ándale". Very handy expression in Mexico.
  • hurry up: Ándale/apúrate/rápido, que tengo prisa.
  • get moving: ¡Ándale! Cuándo vas a terminar ese informe.
  • that's right: Ándale, eso mismo pensé yo.
  • go ahead: Si te quieres ir, pues ándale.

"Ándate" is not a word of common use here, but it rather gives the idea of "get going"... to dismiss someone. ("Ándate/vete al diablo, no me molestes").
