So if you reckon you've clicked with someone you can describe them as mon pote (my friend) or even mon meilleur pote (my best friend) if you know them really well. The word stays the same in the feminine, so a female friend would be ma pote and if you have more than one friend (lucky you) they would be mes potes. Some of the more common ones are mec, meuf and copain. The word is generally favoured by slightly older couples who are in a long term relationship but aren't married.
