thelovelyLIZ Almos everything in le futur and le condintionel in French! Je voudrais Je voudrai It's really annoying... I love that about French! It makes verb conjugation so much easier when you're speaking. Je parle, tu parles, il/elle/on parle, (and I think this one too...) ils/elles parlent -- they all sound the same! biggrin

Doesn't "Aloha" mean both "hello" and "goodbye"?
rijden (dutch) = to drive.
ride (english)
veel (dutch) = much/very
fail (english)
And of course there's "fiets" (dutch for 'bicycle') and "feet"...

There are tons of homonyms in Slovak... it can be quite confusing:
koruna
1. king's crown
2. our currency - Slovak koruna
3. treetop
dáma:
1. lady, madam
2. board game, I think its called checkers in English
oko
1. an eye
2. mountain lake, tarn
3. a hole in your nylon stocking
4. a trap for animals, snare
5. card game (twenty-one)
štít
1. a shield
2. a peak
vír - whirl
výr - eagle owl
biť - to beat / hit
byť - to be
Even more confusing are derivatives, that look and sound almost the same, for examle verb PÍSAŤ, to write:
napísať / zapísať - write / write down, record
pripísať / prepísať / predpísať - add in writing / rewrite / prescribe, set (some duty)
popísať / podpísať - describe / sign

"Eekhoorn" (Dutch for "squirrel") and "acorn" (English).
That's just asking for trouble.

Next time someone says, "Mi casa es su casa," you may want to make sure they don't know random Japanese words razz
