Hacer amigos

To make friends

Bedeutung

To form new friendships with people.

🌍

Kultureller Hintergrund

In Spain, making friends often involves 'el tapeo' (going for tapas). It is common to make friends with coworkers by going out for a beer immediately after work. The term 'amigo' is used very broadly in Mexico, sometimes even for strangers (like 'buddy' or 'mate'). However, 'hacer amigos' still implies a real connection. Argentina celebrates 'Día del Amigo' (Friend's Day) on July 20th. It is a massive event where everyone goes out to celebrate the friends they have 'made' over the years.

🎯

Use the plural

Even if you only met one person, saying 'hice amigos' sounds more natural and less desperate than 'hice un amigo'.

⚠️

Silent H

Never pronounce the 'H' in hacer. It's not 'Hacer', it's 'A-cer'.
