"My friends are old."

Translation: Meine Freunde sind alt.

[Pouriya0]

If freunde is plural of freund and freundinnen plural of freundin, then what is freunden??

[RedAngel666]

Hi Pouriya,

It's the dativ flexion. "Ich gebe es meinen Freunden."

regards Angel

[Pouriya0]

you're welcome

I don't get it:(

[Carla744071]

So these aren't boyfriends? A girl can't have a couple of sugar daddies?

[davidayala122135]

Lmao thats so creepy!!

[Brigitta898819]

Can't girls have friends that are males but not a boyfriend or sugar dady?

[Christian343380]

Why meine and not mein

[requin230]

because it is plural "die Freunde".

[tatzels]

Just to be sure, this can't be used to mean they are long-time friends, right? "Alt" is just in reference to the age of the friends?

[rainbowpuke]

Also want to know.

[Jackson962413]

I think it would be expressed differently.
Ich habe alte freunde.
But not entirely sure.

[davidayala122135]

Ja, und nein... the thing, I believe (since haven't particullarly got there), is that adjectives can conjugate with sustantives so "wir sind alt Freunde" wouldnt be right as "wir sind alte Freunde" would.

Even though i didnt ask i had the same question thanks a ton angel

[deactivated user]

the early advise had 'friends' as freundinnen!!!!!!!!!

[OompaLoompa3142]

Would I use Freunde when talking about a mix of friends (both male and female)? Or would I have to say Freunde und Freundinnen every time I wanted to mention them?

[vaishnavij660501]

It is difficult for me
