How do you say in spanish: a group of friends ( some of which are guys & girls ) went out ? also, if you wanted to say: Chris & karen are friends. I know if two guys are friends they are amigos & two girls are amigas but how would i describe these other friendships? Thanks

    Chris and Karen are amigos too...
    About the group of friends, you can say it in many ways.
    Salimos en bola = It's very mexican, so maybe it won't work for you.
    You can also say: I'm going out with my friends = Voy a salir con mis amigos (even if girls go too)

    Un grupo de amigos. Cuando hay personas de ambos sexos en un grupo se utiliza el masculino plural. Espero haberte ayudado.

    Saludos

    In Argentina, the expression "en bolas" o "en pelotas" means naked. So if you say salimos en bola, people would immediately conclude that you went out wearing less than a figleaf...

    Cuando hablamos de un grupo, cuyos participantes tienen un buen grado de conocimiento mutuo (ya se conocen al menos lo suficiente), se puede decir "gente" o "gentita".
    Por ejemplo:
    Estuve con la gente toda la noche.
    ¿Por qué no nos encontramos con la gentita el fin de semana?

    En Colombia al grupo de amigos, se le diría "pandilla" o "combo".

    Lo de salir "en bolas" sí es mejor evitarlo -fuera de México, claro está.

    en españa, dependiendo de la zona, al grupo de amigos se le llama pandilla o cuadrilla

    en un grupo mixto (hombres y mujeres) siempre que haya por lo menos un hombre, se usa el masculino: chris & karen son amigos - chris, karen & rachel son amigos

    Pero es que nadie a dicho "salir en bolas", mas bien lo que dijo ~PiCHi~ fue "salir en bola" que no veo porque puedan interpretarlo de la otra manera.

    Saludos!!!!
