Usage notes

 * Freund (and Freundin) may refer to either a platonic friend or a romantic partner. When used in the singular with a possessive (mein Freund, ihr Freund, etc.), the word usually has a romantic implication, unless the context suggests otherwise. When used with an indefinite article (ein Freund, eine Freundin), a platonic relationship is assumed.
 * If it's necessary to distinguish between a platonic and a romantic relationship, feste(r) Freund(in) (lit. steady boyfriend/girlfriend) always indicates a romantic relationship. Another qualifier with Freund(in), such as gute(r) or beste(r) usually indicates a platonic relationship.
 * Most derived terms, such as or, are restricted to the platonic sense, however.
