How to distinguish in German girlfriend and female friend, the same with boyfriend and male friend? With an example pls
- German

- English (UK)
Usually by an article/ possessive pronoun:
eine Freundin =female friend
meine Freundin =girlfriend
ein Freund =male friend
mein Freund =boyfriend
Sometimes there might be confusions though, then you can ask whether it's their 'fester Freund'/ 'feste Freundin'.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
Meine Freundin = My girlfriend
Eine Freundin von mir = a female friend of mine
Mein Freund = My boyfriend.
Ein Freund von mir = a male friend of mine.
