In a sentence

ともだち友達friendがくる来るcomeよ

A friend is coming!

How it works

が (subject) points out who is doing the action — here 友達ともだち (friend) — and 来るくる (come) stays in its plain dictionary form, so the tone is casual. The final よ (emphasis) adds a “just so you know” nudge, telling the listener something they may not have realized yet.
