RE: Curiosity about some english words that in my language have a different meaning ^_^

in #life7 years ago

As has been mentioned, "film" is used in British English to mean "movie".

Some words also retain their latinate roots: "famished" means to be very hungry; "apiary" is a place to keep bees.

On Italian words that have recently entered the English language, I find "latte" the most annoying - if you order that in Italy you'll be given a glass of milk! I assume it means either caffe' latte or latte macchiato.
