How to say "from" someone
Hello! I really can't find any information on this. I want to say "from" someone. like, "from my friend." "I received a gift from my friend" How can I say this in Japanese? is it "友達に"?

Question

Answer

I received a gift from my friend.
友達からプレゼントをもらった。  [から: from]

友達   +   から  +   プレゼント   +   を  +   もらった。
friend  +   from  +      gift                  +   received.

To say it in a polite way:
友達からプレゼントをもらいました。

If it was a b-day gift, you can say:
誕生日プレゼント

Answer

'友達から' is right. In this case, '友達に' is also correct:)
