What does it mean to say that friction resists motion? And how is inertia similar to Newton’s 1st law?

1.Friction is a catchall word that refers to any force that resists relative tangential motion (or intended motion). "Relative tangential motion" is a fancy way to say "slipping" or "sliding". Its direction is opposite the relative velocity (or intended velocity).

2.Newton’s first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion. Inertia is related to an object’s mass.
