Il Natale

I bet there are words you usually confuse- words that may sound similar or are written in a similar way either in your mother tongue and the language you are learning. These are called FALSE FRIENDS and becoming aware of them can help you clear up this confusion. So, in this episode of My Spanish Journey we will talk about the 10 most common mistakes in Spanish related to FALSE FRIENDS. Are you ready?

False friends in Spanish and English- 10 most common mistakes

1.	我認為，上帝造人有點過高估計了自己的能力。

（I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.）

2.	永遠原諒敵人，沒有什麼能比這個讓他們更惱火。

（Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.）

3.	我什麼都能抗拒，除了誘惑。

（I can resist everything except temptation.）

4.	為了贏回我的青春，我什麼都願意做，除了鍛煉、早起、做個對社會有用的人。

（To win back my youth, there is nothing I wouldn't do - except take exercise, get up early, or be a useful member of the community.）

5.	年輕的時候，我以為錢是人生最重要的，現在我老了，我懂了，確實如此。

（When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.）

6.	人生中只有一件事比被人議論更糟糕，那就是：無人議論你。

（There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.）

7.	時裝是一種讓人無法忍受的醜陋，所以我們必須每六個月換一次。

（Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.）

아 맞다! 우산을 깜빡했네!
Oh, right! I forgot my umbrella!
아 맞다! 핸드폰 충전해야 돼!
Oh, right! I should charge my phone!

아 맞다! 뭐예요? 
What is “아 맞다!” in Korean? 

“Ah!" is an exclamation used when someone realizes something suddenly. Simple, right?

Then what about "맞다"(matda)?
Actually, "맞다" is a verb that means "to correspond or match with something else without conflicting in action, opinion, or situation."
In English, you could say "It's correct. It’s right."
However, Korean people use the expression "맞다" when suddenly remembering something.
If you realize something you forget and you remember it, 
you can say "아, 맞다!"

Don’t forget this!
아 맞다!

Here's a caution!
"맞다" is not an adjective but a verb.
In the case of Korean verbs, '-는다' should be added instead of '-다' to form "맞는다" (matneunda).
However, Koreans use "맞다" more often.
It may be grammatically incorrect, but it's used this way most of the time.
