To have a friendly relationship with someone; to be someone's friend.
Usage & Nuances
Usually used with 'be', 'become', or 'stay' (e.g., 'I'm friends with Sarah'). It refers to a general friendly relationship, not necessarily close or romantic. In informal speech, can sometimes hint at a casual or non-exclusive connection (especially with 'just friends'). Not used for groups: say 'friends with everyone' not 'friends with group'.
