Contronyms

Who knows what a contronym is? This is a fun quiz to see who can find some contronyms... In other words,words which have two meanings which are opposite in character.

E.g rock - firm, solid, immovable.

Rock - to move something back and forth.

They are very rare, so let's see who else can come up with some. I had great fun trying to think of some.

You can also think of some in your own language and explain them to us.
