The camaraderie between Russian men is widely praised, so it’s no wonder Russians have an array of words for ‘friend’, each of them carrying a slightly different meaning.
1. Брат (brat, ‘brother’)
Kira Lisitskaya (Photo: Alexey Kudenko/Sputnik; Legion Media)
Brother is, of course, much more than friend, so this is how Russian guys call each other if they’re really close and have been through some ordeals together. A diminutive братишка (‘brat-ishka’) is a more friendly variant and ‘bratan’ carries an air of respect and dignity. Also, Russians from the Caucasian region, who practice Islam, consider all fellow Muslim believers “brothers” and even slightly abuse this word, especially with strangers.
However, it’s not uncommon to be called ‘brat’ by a complete stranger on the street in Russia – but in most cases, the person may simply want something from you, like a cigarette or some spare change.
2. Друг (droog, ‘friend’)
The obvious word for a friend has also many derivatives in Russian – дружбан (‘droozhban’), дружище (‘droozhishche’), друган (‘droogan’). All of them just emphasize the meaning of ‘friend’. After брат, друг stands above all other words in terms of seriousness of friendship.
Again, if a stranger wants something from you on the street, they might address you as ‘droog’, trying to imply they mean no harm.
3. Кореш (‘koresh’)
This word came from criminal circles in the early 20th century. In Yiddish, ‘korev’ means ‘relative’. Since the Russian criminal world had many Jewish people speaking Yiddish, their words migrated into Russian. Currently, the word ‘koresh’ just means “a close friend” and doesn’t really carry any criminal meaning.
4. Земляк (zemlyak, ‘homie’)
A clean analogue of ‘homeboy’, земляк (“the one from the same land”) is used to mean that somebody is from the same place as you are, where земля means ‘land’ in Russian. In a vast country, people who go to work and live in Moscow or St. Petersburg from other cities and towns of Russia often end up making friends with people who come from the same regions, often referring to them as ‘zemlyak’, or with a touching diminutive – ‘zemelya’.
5. Старик (starik, ‘old man’)
Used in reference to boys only, ‘starik’ means someone you’ve known for a long time. It is also used ironically, when an older person addresses the younger one, who obviously can’t be an “old man”. However, referring to a girl or a woman as ‘starukha’ (‘old hag’) is an insult, even between girls.
6. Кент (kent, ‘buddy’)
Kira Lisitskaya (Photo: Dmitry Feoktistov/TASS; Legion Media)
Just like ‘koresh’, ‘kent’ probably came from Yiddish, where it means “the one who knows [you]”. This word is also borrowed from the language of criminals and is still used there. Normally, if a Russian guy calls someone ‘kent’, he implies that the friendship is really close and that he and his ‘kent’ overcame some tough times together.
7. Кирюха (kiryukha, ‘a drinking bud’)
Derived from the slang term кирять (kiryat, ‘to drink’), this word means a drink lover and also a buddy who you’re drinking with.
8. Приятель (priyatel, ‘pal’)
You wouldn’t want to call your friend a ‘priyatel’, because it really means a person you have just an easy relationship with, but it can’t be called friendship – yet. ‘Priyatels’ can become friends, but they don’t always do.
9. Товарищ (tovarisch, ‘comrade’)
Kira Lisitskaya (Photo: Isaak Dynin/TASS; Sergey Mamontov/Sputnik)
Derived from the word ‘tovar’ (‘product’), ‘tovarisch’ was initially used in Russia to mean a business partner. But, in the Soviet times, it became a widespread address form for the people in the USSR – and not only men; a woman could also be called a ‘tovarisch’. Currently, this word is used less often and it can be compared to ‘priyatel’ in terms of usage. We also have a separate article for this word.
10. Знакомый (znakomyi, ‘acquaintance’)
This word is the “least friendly” of them all and it’s used to mean a person you know of, but aren’t friends or pals with; you just happen to have their acquaintance and don’t necessarily have good relations with the person.

The most popular way to say «friend» in Russian is друг (DROOK) for a male friend and подруга (padROOga) for a female friend. However, there are several more words for friend, some more suitable for informal conversation only and others more universal. In this article, we look at the ten most common ways to say «friend» in Russian and examples of their usage.
Друг
Pronunciation: DROOK
Translation: friend (male)
Meaning: a male friend
The word «друг» can be used in any social setting and context, from very formal to very informal. It can represent both a platonic friend and a boyfriend. In some sentences, the word can take on a sarcastic meaning, usually when the speaker doesn’t consider the person they are calling friend to be a real friend or if they are trying to belittle them.
Examples:
— Я еду в отпуск с другом. (ya YEdoo VOTpusk ZDROOgam)
— I am going on vacation with a friend.
— Это кто, ее новый друг? (EHtuh KTOH, yeYO NOviy DROOK?)
— Who is that, her new friend/boyfriend?
Подруга
Pronunciation: padROOga
Translation: friend (female)
Meaning: a female friend
A feminine form of друг, подруга can also mean both a romantic and a platonic female friend. It is suitable for any register, including very formal. However, bear in mind that the word has slightly more negative connotations than its male equivalent. When the speaker wants to emphasize that a female friend is a genuine friend, they often use the male form instead, e.g. она мне настоящий друг (aNAH MNYE nastaYAshiy DROOK): she is a real friend.
Example:
— Я приду с подругой. (ya priDOO spadROOguy)
— I will come with a friend.
Приятель/приятельница
Pronunciation: preeYAtyl’/preeYAtylnitsa
Translation: a mate, a pal (male/female)
Meaning: a chum, a mate, an acquaintance, a pal
Used to refer to casual friends or mates, the word приятель and its female form приятельница are suitable for any social setting.
Example:
— Мы приятели. (my preeYAtyli)
— We are pals.
Дружище
Pronunciation: drooZHEEshye
Translation: giant/enormous friend
Meaning: bro, close friend, good friend, good mate.
Reserved for very good friends, дружище is an affectionate term and is suitable for any type of social setting.
Example:
— Ну, дружище, давай. (noo, drooZHEEshye, daVAY.)
— Come on then, bro, take care of yourself/see you.
Дружок
Pronunciation: drooZHOK
Translation: little friend
Meaning: friend, pal
Дружок can be used both as an affectionate and a condescending way to address someone. When used affectionately, this word is often heard in conversations with children or pets and translates as «sweetie» or «darling.» However, when used as a way to belittle someone, the word can mean «pal» with negative connotations.
Example (condescending or negative):
— Дружок твой приходил, много вопросов задавал. (drooZHOK TVOY prihaDEEL, MNOga vapROsaf zadaVAL.)
— Your friend was here, asking all sorts of questions.
Example (affectionate):
— Привет, дружок, как поживаешь? (preeVYET, drooZHOK, kak pazhiVAyesh?)
— Hey, sweetie, how’ve you been?
Старик/старушка
Pronunciation: staREEK, staROOSHka
Translation: old man, old woman
Meaning: old friend, my friend, bro, man, dude
Used only in informal conversations, старик/старушка are a popular way to indicate affection in friendship, especially when you have been friends for a long time.
Example:
— Старик, ну здорово! (staREEK, noo zdaROvuh!)
— Hey, so good to see you, dude!
Братан
Pronunciation: braTAHN
Translation: brother, bro
Meaning: brother, bro
Братан is a slang word for bro, used in very informal conversations. Originally meaning older brother or nephew on brother’s side, the word is now a popular form of affectionate address for any male with whom the speaker has a close friendship.
Example:
— Братан, ты с нами? (braTAHN, ty s NAmi?)
— You coming, bro?
Френд/фрэнд
Pronunciation: frent/friend
Translation: friend
Meaning: friend, pal
The English word «friend» can be sometimes heard in Russian, pronounced with the rolling «r» and used in an informal environment. Considered a slang word in Russian, френд, or фрэнд, means the same thing as friend. It is also often used to mean social media and online friends.
Example:
— Я удалила его из френдов (ya oodaLEEla yeVO eez FRENdaf)
— I unfriended him.
Товарищ
Pronunciation: taVArysh
Translation: comrade
Meaning: friend, comrade, ally, colleague
The word товарищ is not nearly as popular as it was during the Soviet Union, however, it is still used to mean friend, ally, or colleague. Due to Russia’s complex history, no word has appeared since the end of the Soviet Union that has managed to fully replace товарищ. The word is still active in the Russian Army as part of some rank names. In everyday life, товарищ can sometimes be used by older generations.
Example:
— Дорогие друзья, товарищи! (daraGHEEye drooz’YA, taVArishy)
— Dear friends, comrades/colleagues!
Дружбан
Pronunciation: droozhBAN
Translation: pal, friend, mate
Meaning: pal
A slang word meaning «friend,» дружбан is used in informal conversation only.
Example:
— Дружбан он его. (droozhBAN on yeVO)
— He’s a pal of his.
This time we will talk about ways how to say friend in Russian. There are a few names for them depending on how close people are to each other. Read the article and you will learn when it’s appropriate to call somebody your friend or not!
So how to say friend in Russian? The most commonly used words for describing people close to you are «знакомый», «приятель» and «друг».
I placed them in ascending order.
We can say that somebody is «знакомый» («знакомая» for females and «знакомые» for a group of people), which means like an ‘acquaintance’, when we haven’t spent a lot of time together. In most cases it means that we haven’t proceeded too far from being acquainted. The word ‘acquaintance’ derives from ‘to get acquainted’ in English, the same is in Russian: the word «знакомый» derives from «знакомство» which also means ‘the first meeting’.
To become your friend a cat has just to… be.
The next way how to say friend in Russian is to call somebody «приятель» («приятельница» for women). It means that someone is your friend, but you still would not call them ‘friend’ because you feel like you haven’t become close enough, even if you get on well and like each other.
The reason for this is because when Russians call somebody ‘a friend’, we 500% mean it. If someone is a friend to us, that at least means that
a) we have known each other for a couple of years minimum, b) we have got heavily drunk together at least once, c) we have hung out at each other’s homes, d) we have had long thoughtful conversations about life while being sober, e) we have shared some secrets, d) we have had little run-ins and still our friendship has survived.
Way too many criteria, aren’t there?
That’s why we take all this Facebook policy about calling every other acquaintance ‘friends’ a little bit skeptically. You are lucky if you have two or three true friends. Or one.
Oh! Almost forgot to tell you how to say friend in Russian. A friend in Russian is «друг», for female friends we say «подруга» or «подружка».
Ok, I hope this one helps! Take care and don’t forget to make new friends subscribe!

And as French is a world language, spoken by over 220 million people, learning French can give you access to a huge chunk of the world.
Is French easier than German?
For an English speaker, French is easier to learn than the German language due to the fact that English has a similarity to the French language and this is predominantly because of the complexity of German grammar. The French language is not solely easier to study compared to German, but much better useful.

Dutch is as effective at encrypting communication from German speakers as French is. Dutch people mostly understand Germans – although without practice they don´t speak German.

Dutch people (Dutch: Nederlanders) or the Dutch, are a West Germanic ethnic group and nation native to the Netherlands.

Dutch and German are two related languages that have a lot in common. While most people would pick German over Dutch because of its importance in Europe and in world-economy, Dutch, is a language that’s easier to learn than German. In many ways, Dutch has got at least as much going on as German opportunity-wise.
Can you understand Dutch If you know German and English?
English is not going to be much use in understanding Dutch. However, if you have learned German, and are not a German native speaker, then you will be quite able to understand a lot of Dutch.
