Perhaps you cannot immediately understand an entire word uttered in the French language especially if you are just starting to learn a language. But you can definitely pick out a few words that you understand – and one of them is Ami or Amie. These two French terms refer to a male friend and a female friend, respectively. So if someone introduces you as an Ami or Amie, it means that you are considered as a friend, however new the acquaintance is.
