What does chez ami mean in french?

"Chez" (pronounced shay) is a French word which means "at" or "near". "Chez moi" means "at my place"; "chez toi" is "at your place". "La" is the pronoun for singular feminine nouns, just as "le" is the pronoun for singular masculine nouns. It is the equivalent of the English word "the" so "la maison" is the house, "la voiture" is the car, and so on. If you put them together, "chez la maison" means "at the house", or "chez la boulangerie" means "at the bakery". But if you are talking about a masculine noun like "pont" you have to say "chez le pont" for "at the bridge".
