Cabecera-false-friends-en-inglés.jpg

“False friends” is a phrase to describe two words or phrases that exist in several languages with similar spellings or pronunciations but different meanings.

There is a similar phrase: false cognates. Their difference is explained at

https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/questions/2612/whats-the-difference-between-a-false-cognate-and-a-false-friend

Types of false friends include:

  1. same origin, similar meanings, different parts of speech;
  2. same origin, one language has more meanings than the other (or one language has fewer meanings than the other);
  3. same origin, different meanings;
  4. different origin, different meanings.

In addition, some words in different languages have the same meaning, but their use is different from one language to the other.

About building a table for European languages, it is suggested to be etymology-oriented: a Latin or Greek word with its descendants in various languages. Because of the huge number of languages, it would be better to categorize them by the similarity of meanings. Also, ISO 639-3 codes can be used instead of language names to save space.

As you complete this lesson, consider broadening your horizons with these related topics: Glossary for translations, Transparent Words, Greetings Where are you going & Common words about computers and other devices.
