Nosotros somos unos amigos.

English Translation

We are friends.

“we are friends” is the given meaning. Do we really need the UNOS in there?

English Translation

We are friends.

From what I understand, in Spanish indefinite articles can be used to identify that something/someone belongs to a group. Perhaps this is saying something along the lines of “we are a group of friends”? I hope someone with a better understanding of Spanish can help.

I would say the customary translation of unos is some, or a few, so in isolation this Spanish sentence sounds a bit off. However, consider this: “(Nosotros) somos unos amigos que queremos pasar un buen rato.”
