My Russian coworker explained to me why Russians say You my friend".
English sentences have subjects and verbs.
"You are my friend"
subject: you
verb: are
But here, the words "you" and "are" are redundant. In Russian, these two words would simply be lumped together into "you", so "you are my friend" becomes (with thick accent) "you my friend".
