To speak of a friend without romance, German says ein Freund von mir, “a friend of mine”, and the indefinite article does the disarming.
German also keeps a category English blurs: ein Bekannter is an acquaintance, someone you know but would not call a Freund. Where an English speaker says friend for the whole range, German draws the line and means it.
Bekannter acquaintance
A category German insists on. Calling an acquaintance Freund overstates the relationship.
Kumpel mate, buddy
Casual and originally a miner's word. Warm but not close.
Kollege colleague
Kept strictly apart from Freund, even for someone you like at work.
