文化背景

Lithuanians value 'seni draugai' as much as family. It's common to keep the same friend group from childhood through adulthood. In communities in Chicago or London, 'senas draugas' refers to someone you knew back in Lithuania, serving as a cultural anchor. For the older generation, 'senas draugas' might imply someone you shared hardships with during the Soviet era, carrying a weight of shared survival. Young Lithuanians use 'senas draugas' ironically on social media to refer to people they've known since the early days of the internet.

Gender Matters

Always check if your friend is male (senas draugas) or female (sena draugė).
