Definition
相好 is a verb meaning to have a close, intimate relationship. It can refer to being close friends (often from childhood) or to having a romantic/sexual affair. It usually requires a prepositional phrase with 和 or 跟 to introduce the other person, as in 和某人相好. Note that the same word can be used as a noun (close friend, lover), but this entry covers only the verb usage.
