Darryl, رÙÙÙØ© is for a girl, رÙÙÙ would be its male equivalent.
German = Freund
Turkish = erkek arkadaÅ or erkek sevgili
Malay = teman lelaki
Indonesian = pacar
Sarawak Malay = gerek
Bidayuh = boyfren
Slovene = fant, tip
Bosnian/Serbian = momak
Croatian = deÄak
Italian = ragazzo
Polish = chÅopak
in Hindi you can call it पà¥à¤°à¥à¤®à¥ "premee"
in Urdu use دÙست "dost".
To be frank, only a few languages have a distict word for boyfriend like English. In most languages word "friend", "male firend" or "boy" is used.

In Quebec French, mon chum.
In Swiss German, you'd say "mein Freund" only for a boyfriend, but I believe in Germany it works for any male friend. There might be a difference between saying "a" (ein) and "my" (mein)--I think there usually is.
"Swain" is a cool English word you can use instead of boyfriend.

Russian: "moim parnem" or "моим паÑнем" in the Cyrillic alphabet, although this isn't exactly a common word in the Russian language - don't ask me why.

In Welsh it's cariad, which literally means "love" and is also used of girlfriends.
I should correct Knightsbridge9: the Russian word for boyfriend is паÑÐµÐ½Ñ (paren'). моим паÑнем means, more or less, "with my boyfriend".

In French (France), it is "petit ami" OR "petit copain".
'ami' or 'copain' by themselves mean "friend", but when you put the 'petit' in front of these words, this changes the meaning to "boyfriend".
