Make friends with Make friends with false friendsfalse friends

There are pairs of words or phrases in two languages or dialects that look or sound similar, but differ significantly in meaning. Despite significant differences between Polish and English, in both languages there are words that look (and sometimes sound) very similar, however, they have completely (or at least partially) different meaning.

Appearances Appearances can be dececan be deceivingivingIt is common phenomenon to treat two similar sounding words from different languages as equivalents. Learners rely on the similarities between two words, which seems to be partly understandable. However, although there are words in two languages that have got the same or similar meaning, the occurrence of words which have got dissimilar meanings is more frequent. Consequently, this may lead to many lexical errors and misunderstanding while communicating with the interlocutor.

The most problematic point of the exercise is connected with the word lunatic. Most of students have confused English lunatic (a crazy person) with Polish lunatyk (a sleepwalker).

Exercise 3 Exercise 3

In this exercise students were asked the following question: Do you happen to know what a false friend is?

Results show that students have got slight knowledge on the subject because only a few students have given the correct answer to the question. A great majority of the respondents had no idea about the occurrence of false friends.

Did you know?Did you know?In Poland you can use both TAK and NO to say that you agree with somebody.
