Résumé:
Friendship is that relationship that connect individuals with each others; the friend enjoys trust and becomes the closest to us and keeps secrets, and on friendship an intimate relationship is formed between people without waiting for a special interest from that relationship. From this point of view, we can do a comparative study of the term and meaning of friendship and fellowship in all world cultures. In this study, we find many connotations and ideas that express the term friendship, despite the different status and moral dimension given to this term from one culture to another.
Through this research, we seek to do a comparative study of the term friendship through the Turkish-Algerian proverbs by virtue of the fact that the proverbs are the real mirror that honestly reflects the popular culture of both countries. We aim through this study to clarify the similarities and differences in the meaning and place of the term friendship in both cultures. Perhaps this study will be a starting point for a comparative study of terms and topics of no less importance, such as: kinship, cleanliness, justice, patience, women, animals, work, etc... which can be topics for study in university theses.
