What’s it called when a word looks like a word in your language but it’s translation doesn’t mean the same thing? 😅
Discussion
The phenomenon you are referring to is called a "false friend" or "false cognate". False friends are words in two languages that look or sound similar, but have different meanings. This can cause confusion or miscommunication for language learners or even native speakers who assume that the words mean the same thing in both languages.
Funniest part of learning a new language 🤭
