French buddy (3)

I believe the answer is:

ami

'french buddy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ami that I've seen before include "A male friend in France" , "buddy" , "friend abroad?" , "Mon . . . - my French friend" , "Parisian's friend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, The Washington Post, the King Feature Syndicate, the L.A. Times Daily and the LA Times.
