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.
