Just discovered your site – fantastic! How do you say “my girlfriends” as in my female friends? Thanks in advance 🙏🏼
Thanks, I’m glad that you like it! 🙂
a lány barátaim [ˈɑ laːɲ bɑraːtɑim] – my girl friends (= my friends who are girls). This sounds a bit unnatural. We wouldn’t say it this way, rather only simply “a barátnőim” [ˈɑ bɑraːtnøːim].
a lány barátom [ˈɑ laːɲ bɑraːtom] – my girl friend (= my friend who is a girl).
This sounds a bit unnatural. We wouldn’t say it this way, rather only simply “a barátnőm” [ˈɑ bɑraːtnøːm], even if you are not dating the girl. It will be obvious from the context.
a fiú barátaim [ˈɑ fijːu bɑraːtɑim] – my boy friends (= my friends who are boys). This sounds a bit unnatural. We wouldn’t say it this way, rather only simply “a barátaim” [ˈɑ bɑraːtɑim].
a fiú barátom [ˈɑ fijːu bɑraːtom] – my boy friend (= my friend who is a boy). This sounds a bit unnatural. We wouldn’t say it this way, rather only simply “a barátom“, even if you are not dating the boy. It will be obvious from the context.
a barátaim [ˈɑ bɑraːtɑim] – my friends (either only boys, or both girls and boys)
a barátom [ˈɑ bɑraːtom]
1) my friend (= my friend who is a boy)
2) my boyfriend (I’m dating a boy)
a barátnőm [ˈɑ bɑraːtnøːm]
1) my girl friend (mostly a girl says it about her friend who is a girl, but even a boy can say it, though now it sounds strange to me too 😀 (I’m a boy))
2) my girlfriend (I’m dating a girl)
Köszönöm szépen for your comprehensive and excellent explanation! Much appreciated!
You’re welcome! 🙂
