Pal in Paris

Answer:

AMI

Hint:

Think of how the French might casually refer to a close friend—it’s just three letters and starts with "A."

Explanation:

"Pal in Paris" is a clever way to clue the French word for "friend," which is ami. The word "Paris" hints that the answer is in French, while "pal" is a casual term for a friend. It’s a straightforward example of a foreign-language clue where the solver needs to think beyond English.
