Usage notes
The following terms derive from the noun hu barát friend (as they don’t mean being friendly towards someone or something): hu cseribarát, hu elvbarát, hu felebarát, hu házibarát, hu kebelbarát, and hu szürkebarát. The terms hu emberbarát, hu műbarát, and hu természetbarát are traditionally derived from the noun even if they are (or may be) construed with the sense “-friendly”.hu these three latter terms should be checked and possibly fixed in terms of etymology, linking to "-barát" instead of "barát"
