| Okay today Iīm doing something about the so-called "false friends" we learned them in English class in school but of course you can just reverse them^^ "False Friends" are words that do exost in German too but mean something different. Like always the English word is the first, the German the second word and in thebraces are the actual meanings of the words. Like this: Eng. False Friend 1 (actual meaning of FF1) - Germ. False Friend 2 (actual meaning of FF2) sensible (reasonable) - sensibel (sensitive) eventual (after all) - eventuell (possibly) actual (real) - aktuell (up-to-date) principally (generally) - prinzipiell (basically) to become - bekommen (to get) bald - bald (soon) gift (talent) - Gift (poison) brief (short) - Brief (letter) to wink (to blink) - winken (to wave) familiar (known) - familiär (has to do with the family) ... to be continued^^ _________________ Proud winner of the MOST LIKE EDWARD and MOST LIKELY TO RUN A BOOKSTORE (together with Alu) awards and also very proud to say that SHANA won the CUTEST TA COUPLE award ~~~~~~~To Hana-chan, the girl I truly love~~~~~~~ Iīm Sho, 50% of ShanaThe opposite of war isnīt peace - itīs creation!

| Well, literally itīs "fröhlicher Muttertag" but youīd hear more often something like "(I wish you) all the best for mothers day" ----> "Alles Gute zum Muttertag" _________________ Proud winner of the MOST LIKE EDWARD and MOST LIKELY TO RUN A BOOKSTORE (together with Alu) awards and also very proud to say that SHANA won the CUTEST TA COUPLE award ~~~~~~~To Hana-chan, the girl I truly love~~~~~~~ Iīm Sho, 50% of ShanaThe opposite of war isnīt peace - itīs creation!
