I’m not endorsing his work, as I haven’t delved into it enough to have an opinion, but since you seem very interested on the subject maybe you want to have a look. Here’s his homepage where you can find more information on his work and several pdf files on various languages. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Awkward silence.

Trevlig midsommar allihop!
We’re already entering the final third of June and I can’t believe we’ve only come up with a handful of false friends for this month’s challenge. People, don’t be shy and add your contributions: I’m sure you all know plenty of false friends! And to lead by example, and hoping not to offend anybody, I’ll post a couple of unsavory ones. Have you noticed how the false friends that tend to stick to mind are those where the embarrassment risk factor is highest? Italian: fica (vulgar) = pussy, c**t Swedish: fika = drink coffee (informal) Italian: cacca (informal/infantile) = feces, doo-doo, poo Swedish: kaka = cake, cookie English: kiss Swedish: kissa = urinate, wee-wee 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Not awkward silence from me: I just was away for a few days trying to avoid the worst of the high-season by anticipating most holiday-makers.
That’s flattering, but I don’t think my other half would appreciate! ;-) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Norwegian: bløt - soft, wet
Swedish: blöt - wet, rainy Danish: blød - soft German: blöd (pronounced [blø:t])- stupid At least in Danish, it can also mean "stupid" as a derived meaning from "soft" though (ie. soft in the brain). Then there is this nice loan in German "gammel" which is only used in compound nouns like "Gammelfleisch" (well there is also the adjective "gammelig" which is probably a rather new deriviation). In Scandinavian languages it just means "old" while in German it has only the more specific meaning "rotten". So "Min mor er gammel" would sound like "My mother is rotten" to a learner of Norwegian/Dansh. Kaka = poo works in German too Edited by daegga on 21 June 2014 at 1:22am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
