False Friends

A false friend is a word or expression that has a similar form to one in a person’s native language, but a different meaning.

For instance, “actually” has nothing to do with “actualmente”. “Actually” means ” en realidad“.

  • Agenda    means……  “orden del día”      and NOT          “agenda”.
  • Apology   means…… “disculpa”               and  NOT            “apología”.
  • Arena      means …… “estadio”               and   NOT              “arena”.

 

  • Argument  means…….“discusión”          and  NOT              “argumento”
  • Assist  means ……..“ayudar”                         and  NOT    “asistir”.
  • Advocado   means…..“aguacate”     and  NOT   ”  abogado”.
