Other forms: friendliest; friendlier; friendlies; friendlily
Friendly, describes people who are kind, caring, and make you feel comfortable. You might be new to town, but the people are so friendly that you’ll soon feel right at home.
The noun friend is at the root of the adjective friendly. When you’re friendly, you treat everyone like a friend — with warmth and respect. A friendly game of badminton is by definition not too serious or competitive, and a vegetarian-friendly menu makes non meat-eaters feel welcome, just as user-friendly instructions make it easy for non-professionals to follow the directions.

Слово friendly (дружеский, товарищеский) можно прибавить к существительному с помощью дефиса, придав слову новый оттенок: «не представляющий опасности или трудности в употреблении». На сегодняшний день таких комбинаций достаточно много, например: user-friendly (удобен в обращении); reader-friendly (доступный); environment-friendly, planet — или earth-friendly (не оказывающий вредного воздействия на окружающую среду, планету, землю). Эта конструкция в шутливом значении встречается в самых неожиданных сферах: listener-friendly music (музыка, не требующая особых усилий или внимания от слушателя) и Thatcher-friendly (благожелательно относящийся к Маргарет Тэтчер).
