Hi, dear OLS community!
Do you know the difference between “magazine” and “magazin”? In Romanian, a “magazin” is simply a shop! So, if you’re going to a newsstand in Romanian and ask for a “magazin”, they’ll probably point you to the nearest store.
This is just an example of a “false friend” that you should keep in mind while having a conversation in Romanian. If you want to learn more, I invite you to read our blog post, False Friends in Romanian.
What’s an example of a false friend in your native language? Let’s chat in the comments of this discussion forum!
