Friends (16th-17th of March)

In these two days we were talking about our friends and what they mean to us :) We found answers to such questions as -

  • 1. What is the difference between good friend and best friend?
  • 2. What can we do with our friends?
  • 3. Is it possible for boys and girls to be close friends? Is it possible or not to fall in love with your best friend (if they are opposite genders)?

And here are some idioms related to friends and friendship


friend in need is a friend indeed

A true friend is a person who will help you when you really need help. When Bill helped me with geometry, I really learned the meaning of "A friend in need is a friend indeed."

fair-weather friend

Fig. someone who is your friend only when things are pleasant or going well for you. Bill stayed for lunch but he wouldn't help me with the yard work. He's just a fair-weather friend. A fair-weather friend isn't much help in an emergency.

fast friends

good, loyal friends. The two of them had been fast friends since college.

Lend your money and lose your friend.

Prov. You should not lend money to your friends; if you do, either you will have to bother your friend to repay the loan, which will make your friend resent you, or your friend will not repay the loan, which will make you resent your friend. Bill: Joe needs a hundred dollars to pay his landlord. I'm thinking about lending it to him. Alan: Lend your money and lose your friend.
