Use 'vriend' to refer to a friend (generally masculine or neutral); the feminine form is 'vriendin'. In casual Afrikaans, 'my vriend' can also mean 'my boyfriend', so context matters. Plural is 'vriende'. Pronounce the 'ie' like English 'ee' and the final 'd' often sounds like a 't' (approx. VREENT).
