I know that "chlopak" is boyfriend, but I would like to know whether "przyjaciel" can mean also closer relationship. Duolingo does not accept it...
It means a male friend. That may be said in a way that cleary you think he is that kind of "friend" and in Polish przyjaciel/przyjaciółka is more close than English friend. But it is a word that describes friendship, not romantic relationship. So duo is right to not accept it.
gdyby Marte widzialam s kobieta, bylo by napisane "przyjaciółka", no tu jest napisane "przijacielem", tedy jej widze s mężczyzna...
tak, ale Matrę widziałam z przyjacielem, nie z chłopakiem , a więc relacja nie jest romantyczna, tylko przyjacielska.
mie jestem pewna, czy pani rozumje moiemu pataniu... Przyjaciel jest oznacenie dla chlopca i dziewczynki?
Przyjaciel is a close friend that happens to be male. It is a friendship not a romace
Przyjaciółka is a close friend that happens to be female. It is a friendship not a romace
Chłopak is a boyfriend ( a romantic relationship) Dziewczyna is girlfriend ( a romantic relationship)
But chłopak/dziewczyna also mean older girl/boy, so that depends on context.
Well, it's a translation of the name, we can accept it, although of course we don't recommend translating names.
