Hello, what is the meaning of FRIENDLY as a noun? The plural is FRIENDLIES.
The dictionary says that it's a match played for fun or practice. But I've noticed that it can be used for people as well.
What is its meaning in this case?
Thank you in advance

Using friendly in this sense is generally military lingo.
I see a group of men ahead with rifles. Can we determine if they are friendlies.
There are aircraft approaching from the north but they are friendlies.

Can you give an example of when it's used for people?
The only thing I can think of is it could be used as an antonym for enemy.

It's a football (soccer) match that doesn't count in the standings or the outcome of the season or the tournament. In many North American sports, it would be called an "exhibition game" or a "pre-season game."
