Cuando dí el examen TOEFL por primera vez me di cuenta que existe una gran cantidad de vocabulario en inglés que no conocía y que no me habían enseñado en ningún curso de inglés. Sin embargo, noté que algunas palabras tenían similitudes con el español debido a que provienen del latín, especialmente en el ámbito académico y aquí es donde entran los 5 false friends más comunes.
Al investigar más del tema y haberme encontrado con un montón de palabras he concluido que el vocabulario del inglés se puede dividir en 3.
Palabras del GSL, las palabras académicas y los low frequency words (o esas palabras poco comunes que a veces solo los expertos del área lo conocen).
Dentro de estos tipos de palabra es muy común encontrarse con palabras en ingles muy parecidos a palabras al español, pero, también nos podemos encontrar con los famosos «amigos falsos», o, palabras que son muy parecidos al español pero no son lo que parecen.
Les comparto los 5 false friends más comunes que siempre me encuentro dentro de las clases de ingles:
5 False friends más comunes:
False friend más común #1
– Dinero y Dinner:
En ingles «dinero» se dice «money» y el significado de «dinner» en realidad es «cena».
Entonces cuidado con decir «can you lend me some dinner», porque es un poco difícil devolverlo.
False friend más común #2
– Idioma e Idiom:
En ingles «idiom» es un conjunto de palabras que tienen un significado particular Y en realidad «idioma» se dice «language».
Este caso es muy común, entonces no te sientas mal si te sucede.
False friend más común #3
– Embarazada y Embarrassed:
De este tengan mucho cuidado porque pueden en realidad tener un momento embarazoso ya que estar embarazado se dice «be pregnant» y no «be embarrassed».
El significado de «be embarrassed» es «estar avergonzado».
Entonces ya se pueden imaginar que consecuencias no deseadas puede traer esto.
False friend más común #4
– Sopa y Soup:
Otro amigo falso muy peligroso de confundir ya que «soup» es «sopa» y «soap» es «jabón».
Entonces cuidado con ir al restaurante y pedir «a bowl of soap» porque no creo que te vaya a gustar.
False friend más común #5
– Carpeta y Carpet:
En este caso «carpeta» no se dice «carpet» a pesar de parecerse tanto la traducción verdadera es «folder» y «carpet» en realidad significa alfombra.
Es muy común encontrarse con estos 5 false friends más comunes pero con el uso constante del ingles y una observación amplia de todo el contexto no van a tener problema en diferenciar los significados.
Dentro de los siguiente blogs les compartiré más información de cómo tener mejor vocabulario en ingles y como entenderlo mejor.
