The difference between 交 (jiāo) and 朋友 (péngyǒu) is that 交 is never used alone when it refers to a relationship or interaction; instead, it's used to form words such as:
- 交情 [n] friendship, friendly relation
- 绝交 [v] break off relations (as between friends or countries), break with
In comparison, 朋友 specifically means friend and it's used independently as a noun.
