I thought “yadid” was friend. Is “chaver” a synonym of “yadid”? Is there any difference in meaning between “yadid” and “chaver”?

[@LearnHebrewNow]

Yes, both yadid (יָדִיד) and chaver (חָבֵר) can mean "friend" in Hebrew, but they have slightly different connotations and usage depending on context. Differences in Meaning and Usage: Yadid (יָדִיד): Yadid is a more poetic or literary term for "friend." It carries a sense of deep affection or close companionship and is often found in biblical or formal contexts. Example: The Hebrew term Yadid Nefesh (יְדִיד נֶפֶשׁ) means "beloved of the soul," and it appears in traditional prayers and songs. Chaver (חָבֵר): Chaver is the more common, everyday word for "friend." It is used in casual, modern Hebrew to describe a friend, colleague, or member of a group. Example: Chaver kvutzah (חבר קבוצה) means "group member" or "teammate."

So when I say "זה החתול שלנו" does that mean "this is our cat" and when I say "החתול הזה שלנו" does that mean "this cat is ours" or am I just confused?

[@LearnHebrewNow]

In Hebrew it's same. If you'll notice, on the first slide I placed the English pronouns side by side - our/ours while there is only one word in Hebrew - שלנו. I gave the two examples to emphasize that they are the same in Hebrew. I hope this clarifies it.
