@genesia.synclaire: What is it like in your language? 😅 What’s also fun to note is how this is also reflected in the countries’ culture: 🇮🇩 Indonesians are generally warm and open to new people — we can talk to a stranger for 5 mins, be besties, and never see each other again 😂 🇩🇪 But Germans don’t do small talk, and it takes a looong time to be really close and accepted. But once you’re really close, then you found yourself a true “friend” that will last you a long time 😊 #german #indonesian #language #culture

Mein Freund, can also just mean a friend. This part of our language sucks. Even for Native speakers.

no no, a Kollege is just someone you're working with. not necessarily a friend😅 in some parts of Germany it is used as a synonym for friend, though.

Work colleagues are "Arbeitskollegen", a "Kollege" does Not have to be from work and is closer than an Arbeitskollege but not yet a Freund.

I literally only call people friends when we have "confirmed" that, so when we've said that we're friends.

And don't forget those people (mostly guys) who call every friend a Kollege 🥲 But sometimes Kollege is also used in a totally different context! 1/
