FALSE FRIENDS



Never go to a pharmacy in an English speaking country asking for medicines for a "constipation" if your problem is a "constipado", you will get a "laxative" (that is "laxante") since "constipation" doesn't mean "constipado" but "estreƱimiento".  You must ask for medicines for a "cold".

Like this word there many others that seem but have not the same meaning in Spanish and English.


Find here a very complete list.

Now try this exercises.
