I understand that きる means to do something completely but I do not understand
in the context. Does 言いきれる mean: I can say with confidence ?

> 「Ｂクラスに知り合いは？」 「いるよ。仲良くなったって **言いきれる** のはまだ数人だけど
>
> “Do you know anyone in Class B?” “I do. I’ve only gotten to know a few
> people, though,”

question
meaning grammar
meaning of 言いきれる
Yes, 言い切る means "to say firmly" or "to say with confidence". It sometimes
means "to say until the end", too. 仲良くなる is closer to "to make friends with"
rather than "to get to know".
