Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Friend"

A: unexpectedly my old friend showed up

A: you are giving a compliment to both and comparing them to other bosses and friends. They are the best friend and boss that you have ever known. Since they are the best you "couldn't think of a better boss/friend". Hope that makes sense and answers your question.

A: Do you feel comfortable?
No, I don’t feel comfortable.

A: Without context, it doesn't mean anything. If "made into gold" is an expression used among people who play League of Legends, then that's fine. If it's being used perhaps to express that an account became very good or rated as "gold", then it should be "my friend made my account (become) gold".

Here are some, but there are many more common phrases ^ ^

A: my friend sends it to me

A: You say "I have friends to talk to" means that you have friends that you can chat with.
Saying "I have friends to talk" is an incomplete sentence

A: They mean the same thing. Only the structure of the sentence would decide which to use. She has been a friend of hers for five years. She has been her friend for five years.

A: Either could be one or the other but is grammatically incorrect for the sentence.

Both is saying each of your friends aren't married. which is still grammatically incorrect . The correct way to say it should be neither of my friends are married.

A: I totally disagree
‘A few’ and ‘few’ have totally different meanings

A few means some,quite a number, (not a rare event)

Few means almost none, hardly any

A: Both have the same meaning. "I had just finished cooking" is more grammatically correct I think, but I've heard Americans say it either way.

A: なるほど。ごめんなさい xD

A: You could ask "Do you guys want to hang out and play video games?". This is very natural, casual English. When you pronounce 'want to' it sounds like 'wanna'.

I hope this is helpful!

A: just something simple like "good luck!" "you can do it!" or even for slang between younger generation, when someone is going to their job, we can say "get that bread!" bread = money. we don't have a direct translation for 파이팅!

A: No one else is as good as my current friends/my current group of friends.

A: ‘I’ll leave it to you’ might be a more polished way of saying it.

A: × 1. I want to make foreign friends.
✓ 1. I want to make foreign friends. (Good)

× 2. I want to make a foreign boyfriend.
✓ 2. I want to get a foreign boyfriend.

× Question➡️Are both natural?
✓ The reason we say "make friends" but not "make a boyfriend" is largely a matter of idiomatic language and cultural convention.

"Make friends" is an idiomatic expression that means to form friendships or connections with others. It's a common and accepted way to describe the process of building relationships.

On the other hand, "make a boyfriend" sounds awkward because it implies creating or manufacturing a romantic partner, which isn't how relationships work! Instead, we use phrases like:

- "Find a boyfriend"
- "Get a boyfriend"
- "Meet someone special"
- "Start dating someone"

These phrases emphasize the idea of discovering or connecting with someone, rather than creating or making them.

So, while "make friends" is a natural-sounding expression, "make a boyfriend" isn't a common or comfortable way to describe finding a romantic partner.

Hope it helps

"Now that I know the general expectations for living in Germany, I will be able to stay there."
What you have written works and conveys that idea.

I will add a couple more ideas:
1) To say "know" implies something fixed with a black and white answer, such as "I know my 6 times tables" (6, 12, 18, 24, etc.), whereas "expectations" and languages are a little more fluid, and hard to "know". So, I'll suggest "familiar with" instead.
2) "be able to". The opposite would be "not be able to", which would imply that you would be removed or prevented from staying. So, I will suggest "comfortable staying" - you feel more happy staying there.
3) Lastly in your response you mention German (language), so i will add that.

Now that I am familiar with the language and general expectations for living in Germany, I will be comfortable staying there.

A: perfect!
