the
most common errors
that
italians do in
english
The most common errors
that the Italians do in English derive from the so-called “False Friends”,that
are very similar Italian words to other English that however they have a
different meaning. Some are:
To Pretend: that it
doesn’t mean “to expect”but to pretend (fare finta);
Annoyed: that it doesn’t
mean “bored”but annoyed (infastidito);
Firm: that it doesn’t
mean “signature” but firm (azienda).
Others errors that Italians
committed in English are:
The use of singular and
plural, the difference of the use of the verbs Make and Do, and the use of the
adjectives.
