So false friends? (Was just about to use it in relation to a talk a friend has to give)

Spiel and spiel

German for game and English for talking  extravagantly/trying to lure someone in (although taken from spielen - to play) which I guess is cross translated as playing someone

Another example of false friends (very popular amongst German English students)

bekommen - become

bekommen means "to get something". Ich bekomme einen Brief. - I am receiving/getting a letter.

but because of the similarity of the words, it is often incorrectly used like a student of our English teacher once did when they were in London.

He wanted to order a Cola, but instead he said "I would like to become a cola". Which is simply hilarious.

Shame that "letters" pluralises with an 'e' rather than an 's'

Or what would drop through the letter box if you're waiting for "briefs"?

[DasCapschen 7,766]

Took a moment to find briefs that weren't, err, filled occupied
