Q

False friends

A

words in two languages that look or sound similar, but differ significantly in meaning. An example is the English embarrassed and the Spanish embarazada (which means pregnant), or the word sensible, which means thoughtful in English, but sensitive in French. So instead of making things easier, they mislead and confuse us.
