I only speak French and German (other than English), so here's what I know... FRENCH: my friend (male) = mon ami my friend (female) = mon amie (my for feminine words is usually ma, but it's too hard to say ma amie, so they just say mon) my friends (male/mixed) = mes amis my friends (just girls) = mes amies GERMAN: my friend (male) = mein Freund my friend (female) = meine Freundin my friends (male/mixed) = meine Freunde my friends (just girls) = meine Freundinnen Hope that's not too confusing :)
