Amigo and amiga
I know to describe male friend is ‘amigo’ while girl friend is ‘amiga’. So how to describe the sentence that 'Lucy and Jack are my friends' in Spanish? I mean when I try to describe both male and female, which one should I use?

'Lucy y Jack son amigos' or 'Lucy y Jack son amigas' ?

Answer

"Lucy and Jack son amigOs" is the correct one.
