I often see beginners using the expression 친구 만들다 to mean “to make friends.” This is technically correct, but it’s not often the most natural way to say this. The verb 생기다 means “to occur” but is often a more natural way to say “to get” when used with friends, motivation, questions, and more nouns. It’s simple to use, and only requires learning this one verb.
