Questions & Answers about Mi amiga habla japonés.
Why is it mi amiga and not mi amigo?
Because amiga is the feminine form of amigo. It tells you the friend is female.
- amigo = male friend
- amiga = female friend
The possessive mi stays the same for both:
- mi amigo = my male friend
- mi amiga = my female friend
Why is it mi and not mí?
These are two different words.
- mi (no accent) = my
- mí (with an accent) = me, used after prepositions
So here you need mi amiga because it means my friend.
Compare:
- Mi amiga habla japonés. = My friend speaks Japanese.
- Ella habla de mí. = She talks about me.
