In German,
there is a clear distinction between 'Freunde' and 'Kollege'. One for friends, and the other for colleague.
It is a norm there to be labelled simply as colleague. They don't mix private life with work, nor with their course mates in Uni.
The Germans and Austrians never simply label someone as 'friends'.
They choose, they are a very precised nation.

Even so, in German
'Freund' means friend
'Feind' means enemy
Notice the choice of word. How closely related the two are.
