firend
my
how was you... (weekend, vacation, exam etc)

any general complements or polite phrases

Hi Son Gokou,

Here are phrases and words that you might be looking for.

firend/tomodachi
my/watashino
how was you... (weekend, vacation, exam etc)/...wa doudeshitaka?(... could be shuumatsu(weekend), kyuuka(vacation), shiken(exam))

hello my friend/It's not a common phrase we use:( I would just say "konnichiwa! genki?"(Hi, how are you doing?). If I translate it by word-for-word, it will be "konnichiwa watashino tomodachi", it is not common but we can still undersatnd.

'yu'...I have no idea. If you put a whole sentense, it might be easier. This person maybe wanted to tell you in English "You", "Why you" or it might be her name. We have girls named "Yu".

'yukai' means "fun", "pleasant","enjoyable"... a happy word. And "Youkai" means scary evils. Sound very similar but means very different:)!!

Hope this will help you and good luck!
