-As for 'amiga', I believe it is Spanish for 'friend' and more specifically
-it is a 'female friend'.  'Amigo' is a 'male friend'.  While we're at it,
-'Diga' means 'speak'.

Is tre any native Spanish-speaking on the net? I wonder if there is
such a word as 'amiga' in Spanish. Amigo is male friend, and we always
think of our Amiga at home as a female friend, but I don't really think
it's a real word. The ending of words with the letter 'a' is an indication
of 'femaleness' in many languages (like Russian and Polish), but can
anyone who is *sure* say if Amiga is a constructed word or not?
