How do you say this in German? How do you differentiate “friend” & “boyfriend” in a same sex relationship, in German? Considering the word for both is “Freund” how can you make it clear it’s not just your friend?
- German
The most simple way to differentiate is by using ein & mein:
-> ein Freund = friend
-> mein Freund = boyfriend
Usually people get the difference like that.
Or you can say “fester Freund” for boyfriend, but it sounds a bit unnatural. 😄

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- German
some people could understand “mein Freund” just as “my friend”.
In that case you maybe could just add another sentence to clear up what kind of relationship you have 😊

sind people use synonyms for boyfriend, for example "meine bessere Hälfte", "mein Lebens(abschnitts)gefährte", but "fester Freund"is most common,i think
