"The special (female) friend," "special(female) friend" or "a special (female) friend" may be English equivalents of "amicadilecta."

Latin has no definite ("the") or indefinite ("some") articles. The feminine singular noun "amica" means "friend." The feminine singular adjective "dilecta" means "special."

The pronunciation is the same in the liturgical Latin of the Church and the classical Latin of the ancient Romans: "ah-MEE-kah dee-LEHK-tah."
