False Friends – ‘Amigos Falsos’

False Friends – ‘Amigos Falsos’


Below is a list of common false friends, black English, blue Spanish. Your task is to create some amusing phrases illustrating common misunderstanding and then give a phrase with an appropriate/correct meaning/word. Sometimes the difference is subtle; sometimes the connotation can be negative instead of positive.


---------------------------------------

Example 1:


Actually: Actually we are experiencing economic problems at the bank. Presently we are experiencing problems at the bank. Both sentences make sense… If you don’t understand the example look up actually in a dictionary.

The listener responds – yes we truly do have some problems at the bank.

Actualmente tenemos problemas económicos en el banco. En realidad, tenemos problemas en el banco..


Example 2:


I’m pretending to be a cat – ¡Estoy pretendiendo que soy un gato! ¡Socorro! ¿Él actúa como un gato??
