'Supportive friend'
Hi guys. I want to thank a good friend of mine, but I'm not sure how to say it. I want to say 'Thank you for being such a supportive friend'. What word should I use for 'supportive'? Or is there a specific expression I can use? :)

Question

Answer

Supportive: 도와주는, 지원하는, 지지하는, 힘이 되는...
친구에게 말할 때는 ”나에게 (항상) 힘이 되는 친구가 되어줘서 고마워."라고 하는 게 가장 부드럽고 어울릴 것 같아요.

Answer

"support" is 지원하다 or 지지하다, and "supportive" is 지원하는.
But these words are too formal for what you're talking about.

For "Thank you for being such a supportive friend", people would just say one of these.
- 항상 함께 하는 친구가 돼 줘서 고마워. (함께 하다 = stand by)
- 늘 곁에 있어 줘서 고마워.  (곁에 있다 = stick around for support)
- 늘 도와줘서 고마워. (Thank you for always helping me out)
- 항상 힘이 돼 줘서 고마워. (Thank you for always giving me strength).
