In friend of mine, mine means my friends, so literally He is [one] friend of [all my friends]. or, more idiomatically, He is one of my friends. If I only have one friend and he is my only friend, we cannot then say "he is a friend of mine", because the "mine" doesn't mean a group of people.

27. Dez. 2016 · 1. It is customary in English, though it may not make sense to you, to use the so-called "double possessive": He is a friend of mine. He is a friend of my father's. Even in cases like. That is a favorite book of mine. I found both-one with double possesive and one without double possesive.
