Falsos amigos para ficar de olho

• fermare (Italiano) significa “to stop” · fermer (Francês) significa “to close, shut”

  Both from Latin FIRMĀRE 'to make firm, fix'. Italian holds something still; French makes it fast. Spanish firmar went a third way: 'to sign'.

• presto (Italiano) significa “soon, early” · prêt (Francês) significa “ready”

  Both from Latin PRAESTŌ 'at hand' (Late Latin adjective PRAESTUS). French kept 'ready'; Italian 'right away' → 'soon'. The two languages crossed with pronto.

• magasin (Francês) significa “shop” · magazzino (Italiano) significa “warehouse”

  Both from Arabic makhāzin 'storehouses', which entered Romance through Italian; French magasin moved from 'storehouse' to 'shop'. Spanish almacén took the Arabic directly, article and all.
