friendship
Friendship can be used as an uncountable noun when referring to the general concept of being friends. It can also be used as a countable noun when referring to specific relationships (e.g., "They have several close friendships"). While usually positive, it is common to use words like "strained" or "broken" to describe a friendship that is no longer healthy.
