여자 = woman, female, girl 남자 = man, male, boy 친구 = friend So... 여자친구 = girlfriend 남자친구 = boyfriend

I agree with Mojave and if you want to use slang or the abbreviated versions, just use the first element of each word 여자친구 (girlfriend) or 남자친구 (boyfriend) --> girlfriend: 여친 boyfriend: 남친 ^_^

girl-friend would be girl-friend in korean and even in any language it would be girlfriend it wont become boyfriend ;) he he he it was just a joke ,dont mind

thanks
