False Friends
Falsos Cognatos ou “falsos amigos” são palavras em Inglês que derivam do Latim e possuem
grafia exata ou semelhante à da Língua Portuguesa, mas diferem em significado, dando uma
falsa ideia do seu verdadeiro sentido. Existem também as palavras transparentes, que
possuem grafia semelhante ou exata e, de fato, significam o que parecem. Mas certamente
é com os “falsos amigos” que devemos nos preocupar na hora da prova.
