Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

yes, absolutely
"visiter" is used for places, not people

[cold crescent]

« visiter » has the connotation of going somewhere and exploring it so « je visite mes amis » sounds less like 'I went to my friends' homes' and more… well

[gloomy granite]

I was thinking at least « je visite chez mes amis » or something

[wicked elm]

"aller voir" is a more informal way to say "rendre visite" as well

[wicked elm]

it could work grammatically... but it more so sounds like "I'm on a tour at my friends'"

visiter really has this aspect of touring

[gloomy granite]

I see… I thought « chez » was typically for (noun’s) place, like chez le médecin. Merci beaucoup !

Les amis avec avantages

[wicked elm]

the issue is not "chez"
grammatically, your sentence makes sense
it's just that the verb "visiter" doesn't work in meaning

Meanwhile in quebec the “right” way would get you a HUGE side-eye

[abstract idol]

interesting, why?
