Question

What does the German phrase "der Freund, e" mean in English?

Answer 1

It's not a phrase, per se.

"Freund" means "friend (male, and perhaps boyfriend as noted above). The "der" indicates that it's a masculine noun, and the ", e" indicates that the plural is formed by adding an "e".

Answer 2

The "e" indicates the plural

Der Freund - Die Freunde

The friend - the friends

Answer 3

Friend.

Freunde is the plural form.

The word is applied far more sparingly in German than in English and denotes a close friend.  In fact, der Freund could be translated as "boyfriend".

Answer 4

The friend.♣

Answer 5

The friend  : )
