geamikoj

geamikoj

Esperanto

Noun

geamikoj (accusative geamikojn)

  1. (plural only, dated) friends, including both female(s) and male(s)
    • 1906 July, “Kroniko”, in The British Esperantist, volume 2, number 19, page 75:
      En la somero ni esperas babiladi kun niaj Manĉestraj geamikoj ĉe ekskursoj.

Usage notes

Dated construction by writers who understood amiko as a masculine noun. Since amiko is gender-neutral now, the ge- prefix is superfluous, unless one wishes to emphasize that a group of friends includes both females and males.
