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

As you know, my mother language is Italian and in this post I ant to share with you some curious words that have a different meaning betwween English and Italian ^_^

1. APE

In English is:

 A large primate that lacks a tail, including the gorilla, chimpanzees, orangutan, and gibbons. (source) 

In Italy, the APE is a bee ^_^

2.

the SCOTCH

In English is for a scotch whisky (or for something Scotish ^_^), but in Italy is just the word that we use for the adhesive tape .

3.

the FILM

In English is:

 A thin flexible strip of plastic or other material coated with light-sensitive emulsion for exposure in a camera, used to produce photographs or motion pictures (source) 

In Italian, the film is the movie. We use the word "pellicola" for the light sensitive strip in a camera.

4.

the CAMERA

In English is the device to take photos or video, but here in Italy "camera" is the bedroom.

5.

the FAME

In English the meaning is:

 The state of being known or talked about by many people, especially on account of notable achievements. (source)

In ltaly, when we say "Io ho FAME" meanings "I'm hungry" .

There are other English words that have a very different meaning in English, so you can understand that sometimes we can make mistakes ^_^

See ya soon
