"Girlfriend" In German


Question Posted Friday May 4 2007, 8:39 pm

I was wondering, how would a German person refer to their girlfriend? I once heard a guy refer to her as his "friend." Then I heard another person from Germany refer to someone as a "friend."

I assumed that he just meant the girl was a friend. But now I think "friend" means girlfriend. I looked up the German way to say girlfriend, and its Freundin. (Spelled just like Friend.)

So I was wondering, to German people, does "friend" mean boyfriend/girlfriend?

Actually, Germans refer to everything as feminine, masculine, or neuter(which essentially means neither). Freundin would mean girlfriend and Freund would mean boyfriend. Freund also means just 'friend' because the article is in masculine and neuter form.
Hope I helped.
