Understanding the Context

Not open for further replies. Can anyone explain to me the exact meaning of the above? For example: "I am curious to meet your brother". What does "curious" mean in this context?

Key Insights

I have a feeling that I know what it means as a complete sentence but I am not entirely sure what the word "curious" entails here. The University of Wolverhampton, New Bulgarian University and Universidad de Málaga...I am very curious to know all about the life, food and customs of other cultures. Sudying in 3 different Universities and in 3 different countries will amazingly boost general knowledge about European culture and give great chances to make new friends. 2. Have you considered 'guilders', 'guild members' or simply 'players'?

Final Thoughts

NOTE TO THE CURIOUS: MMORPG means massively multiplayer online role playing game. Guildie and guidee sound informal and slangy, similar to tradie (tradesman), postie (postman), brickie (bricklayer) or wharfie (dock-worker). I prefer Rover's terms for official or formal use. I find this idiom: "good friend-material" and curious to know the meaning. I grab it from a novel I'm reading. Are you sure it was "good friend-material" and not "girlfriend material"?

Honestly, "good friend-material" doesn't make any sense. :-? Even with the punctuation correction provided above by Tripp, I can't say I ever heard anyone say this.
