To start a friendship.
文化的背景
Friendship is often seen as a deep, lifelong commitment. 'Завести друзей' is the first step in building a support system that is often more important than professional connections. Similar to Russia, the emphasis is on hospitality and shared meals as a way to 'завести друзей'. The process of making friends often involves shared labor or community activities, reflecting a strong collective spirit. Friendship often involves large family gatherings and a strong sense of community, where 'завести друзей' often means becoming part of an extended social network.
Use the plural
Always use 'друзей' (plural) unless you are talking about one specific person.
Avoid 'делать'
Never say 'делать друзей'. It sounds very unnatural and is a common beginner mistake.
