"동반자"

Translation: Companion

[Jeong-JinL]

I really wish the app wouldn't capitalize the only correct first word, especially for one word answers. It's like a cheat sheet we didn't ask for.

[junhoon]

It's better to figure out the answer before looking at the word cloud. I'll often put in a wrong choice to make the question come back later even if I could eventually get the correct answer.

You want your comprehension to be immediate and not dependant on hints.

[mcguirepatr]

I agree.

同伴者

i thought it's classmate 同班者, apparently there's not such word

[Juan738101]

When would we use this word as opposed to 친구?

[JosieCrane]

Google image searched this and it definitely looks pretty meaningful. It looks like it refers to someone who goes through life and goes through difficulties with you. I'm seeing a lot of couples, especially older couples, as well as people accomplishing difficult things together. Someone who provides emotional support, and have a relationship of mutual trust with. So I think it must be deeper than friend for sure.
Might it be used rather sparingly though? Just like the English translation?
