I thought copine meant friend? And Petite Amie meant girlfriend?

[taramitzy]

So did I!

[Iulia224200]

Girlfriend is not only petite amie. They took it from Google translate. . . Unfortunately.

Me too...

It is peculiar in French. Every language has its beauty. And languages are evolving not on logic but through usages and customs

[shaswatashaha]

does compin means "girlfriend's house" or just girlfriend?

[seshatdreams]

Copine is girlfriend. Chez la copine is at the girlfriend's house.

[taramitzy]

Is there a difference between une petite amie and une copine? Both seem to be translated as girlfriend in these exercises.

[seshatdreams]

I saw someone comment somewhere that they are used by different age groups, but are otherwise the same.

[taramitzy]

I'd also been given to understand that copain/copine were used where we would say "mate", which could also be an age thing; but I've not been able to find any reliable confirmation up to now!

[oldestguru]

Isn't "at his girlfriend's" acceptable? Do I need to add "place" too?

[fiffo87]

Should be petit Amie instead copine?????
