最多只是朋友
[zuì duō zhĭ shì péng yŏu]
'最多只是朋友' (zui duo zhi shi peng you) means 'At Most Just Friends'. It indicates that no matter what happens, the highest form of relationship one can have with another person is friendship, possibly due to different circumstances like timing, location or personal feelings, etc. It’s usually used when talking about close friends of opposite sex, suggesting that there is no potential for romance between them.
