Is there an etymological reason as to why przyjaciel is changed to przyjaciół?
I wrote "I seek a new group of friends" and it was rejected. Shouldn't this be acceptable?
If przyjaciól is masculine/personal/plural, shouldn't Nowy be decline to Nowych and grupa declined to "grup".
It seems that Nowy is declined based on "grupa"... i.e. singular/feminine/genitive and not based on przyjaciól.
Is that correct?
Well, the group is new. For the form of "new", it doesn't matter what is that a group of. So yes, you are correct.
Szukam nowej grupy przyjaciół - the 'hover' over 'nowej' on the main exercise and the discussion page still shows 'locative' instead of genitive.
I tried "I'm looking for a new friend group." and it was rejected. Is there a separate word for "friend group"? Otherwise I suppose we should stick to "group of friends" emphasizing the genitive.
"A new friendship group" is the more natural way to say this (for me), but we do use the word friend as an adjective as well, as in "friend request".
