What is the Italian translation of 'friend'?

Answer 1

Amico in the masculine and amica in the feminine are Italian equivalents of the English word "friend."

Specifically, the masculine noun amico means "(male) friend." The pronunciation is "ah-MEE-koh.' The feminine form, amica, means "(female) friend." The pronunciation is "ah-MEE-kah."

Answer 2

Amiche in the feminine and amici in the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English word "friends".

Specifically, the feminine noun amiche means "(group of all-female) friends". The masculine noun amici translates as "(group of all-male or group of mixed female and male) friends". The pronunciation will be "a-MEE-ke" in the feminine and "a-MEE-tchee" in the masculine.

Answer 3

Depends if you mean a boy that is your friend or ally: amico, compagno, alleato, collega

If it's a girl's boyfriend you can say: moroso, innamorato, fidanzato, partner, compagno

Or if you just mean a boy: tizio, tipo, tale

Answer 4

'Ti amo come amico' is an Italian equivalent of 'I love you as a friend'.

The personal pronoun 'ti' means 'you'. The verb 'amo' means '[I] am loving, do love, love'. The subject pronoun 'io' ['I'] doesn't have to be used other than for emphasis since the verb form makes clear who's doing the loving. The preposition 'come' means 'like, as'. The masculine noun 'amico' means 'friend'.

All together, they're pronounced 'tee AH-moh KOH-meh ah-MEE-koh'.

If it's a female friend that's being loved, the word becomes 'amica'. It's pronounced 'ah-MEE-kah'.

Answer 5

Tu sei la mia migliore amica! in the feminine and Tu sei il mio migliore amico! in the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English phrase "You are my best friend!"

Specifically, the personal pronoun tu -- which does not have to be used other than for emphasis -- is "(informal singular) you". The verb sei means "(informal singular you) are". The feminine singular definite article la and the masculine il mean "the". The feminine possessive adjective miaand the masculine mio mean "my". The feminine/masculine adjective migliore means "best". The feminine noun amica and the masculine amico translate respectively as "(female) friend" and "(male) friend".

The pronunciation will be "too say lah MEE-ah mee-LYOH-rey ah-MEE-kah" in the feminine and "too say eel MEE-oh mee-LYOH-rey ah-MEE-koh" in the masculine.

Amico leale in the masculine and amica leale in the feminine are Italian equivalents of the English phrase "loyal friend."
