I want to ask regarding this example
僕は友達とごはんを食べる。
why it is not “僕の友達とごはんを食べる”?
That sounds more like someone else is eating with your friend
You don’t have to specify your friend. The topic of the sentence is you. What will you do? Eat, with a friend. We can assume it’s your friend since there isn’t a mention of it being anyone else’s friend/friends.
Same with English, “I’m going to eat with friends today” you don’t have to say my friends (unless you feel the need to point out to the listener that the friends belong to you, not them, and they are not apart of that group)
