  1. A french friend of ours said that copine and copin are only used for girlfriend and boyfriend as in partners. Is this regional or all over the french speaking area. Merci

    • Mon (petit)copain – ma copine
      My friend male – female OR
      My boyfriend – my girlfriend as in partners although compagnon / compagne if living together as a couple or older.

  2. My other class in French uses petit-ami and petite-amie for the girl-friend boy-friend relationship. They use copain and copine in the sense of companions.

  3. We use petit-ami et petite-amie exclusively ase boyfriend and girlfriend. Copain (masculine form of friend) and copine (feminine form of friend) are used for friends but we also use them in casual conversation to refer to our boyfriend or girlfriend.
