it is the feminine form of the french word for "friend."
Amie is generally feminine ,because in the French Language if you were to say "C'est ma petite amie" Which in English would translate in to "This is my girlfriend". This proves that amie is feminine.
A female friend is called in French "une amie". We use "mon amie" to say "my (female) friend," "mon ami" for a male friend.
My best friend is happy, so am I
'Mon ami' means my friend (male) in English. If you're talking about a female friend, you would say 'mon amie.' Normally you'd say 'ma amie' because the object of the sentence (in this case the friend) is feminine, but because the first word ends with a vowel and the second word begins with a vowel, you have to say 'mon amie' instead. That's how it is simply because it would be difficult to pronounce if the first word ended with an a, but normally you'd have to use 'ma' in front of an object if it is feminine.
