I second (third?) c_b and sionnach, padawan. It's always interesting to compare similar lists, too!
Padawan: yes, please keep adding to your list! My Spanish is not all that good, so there are a lot of words that I will not know.
padawan's list
Absolutely, padawan! Definitely keep working on it.
sionnach, once again... If you keep hogging all the genius, what will the rest of us do?! *rolls eyes*
i made one of the english words that are false friends to spanish, and added the definitions in both languages to each word. now that i found this one i don't know if i should keep working on mine...
I'm still working on the French ones. Spanish still to come.
Great idea, sionnach. :-)
Fun list for those who know German and French. A nice Italian "falso amico" is "morbido" = soft (morboso = morbid).
A friend who worked for Lever Bros. tells me that they tried (unsuccessfully) to market a deodorant spray in Germany with the unhappy name of "Body Mist". A little homework might have saved them a lot of money - not even a free gift would have helped.
