The Afrikaans "vak" (subject) is pronounced exactly like the English
explitive.
Afrikaans and Dutch have some really annoying ones:
Afr: "Ek hou van jou" = Dutch: "Ik ben voor je lief" (I like you [friends])
Afr: "Ek is vir jou lief " = Du: "Ik hou(d) van jou" (I love you)
Afr: "byna; amper" = both mean 'nearly'
Du: "bijna" = nearly| "amper" = nearly not/just not
and
Afr: "aardig" = strange, offensive-personality
Du: "aardig" = nice, warm-personality
Afr: "fok/fokken, naai" = <explitives, unacceptable language>
Du: "fokken" = to breed animals| "naai" = to sew, do needle-work
Afr: "boodskap" = message
Du: "boodschappen" = shopping [noun] | Dutch 'message' is "bericht"; the
Afrikaans "berig" means 'rapport'.

This sounds like the similar thing that happens between English and Patwa.
They often use English words to mean completely different things. My
favorite example is "You look trash" which is a compliment in Patwa.
Consequently "You look LIKE trash" means the same thing it does in English.

Ah, as in the famous joke, where the Queen visits the Netherlands and
asks a farmer what he does on his farm, and he answers, "I fok
horses". She replies, "Pardon?!" and he says, "Ja, paarden!"

I remember reading a book many decades ago in which the author told of his
personal experiences of traveling in Portgugal. He tells of a time in a
restaurant when he needed a fork, 'faca' in Portuguese. He shouted out for one
and, with the final <a> silent, embarrassed his table mates with a word very
similar to the English expletive.

I do think that they are quite funny. But then, for me, there is often such a
mental wall between the languages that I do not even notice them until someone
points them out to me. And they are easily rememberred. I am pretty sure that
the rejistanian soccer club Karela Lines would not have become as infamous as
it is in the weird and whacky world of NationStates if is was Karela Veran or
Karela Omeh.

Sorry, but that's the first time I see that expression in Dutch, and I've
been speaking the language for nearly 10 years. "I like you" is "Ik vind je
leuk". I don't know any "Ik ben voor je lief" (to me, it sounds like it
means "I am nice to you"). You do have "Ik heb je lief", but it's just
another way to say "I love you" (some say it's more romantic than "ik hou
van jou").

"naaien" in Dutch also has the expletive meaning the Afrikaans equivalent
has. It's used as much in that sense (maybe even more) than in the sense of
"to sew". It also means "to trick" in a very offensive, hurt way (when
you've been the victim of such trick).

"boodschaap" also means "message" in Dutch. Only in the plural can it also
mean "shopping" (only when buying groceries and other such things. For
shopping around for clothes and such, Dutch uses the verb "winkelen", from
"winkel": "shop"). And "boodschappen" can also mean "messages" in the right
context.
So, not all of them are true false friends, most of them just happen to have
more than one meaning in Dutch, one of them used exclusively in Afrikaans.

Interstingly enough, i've ne ver heard it used in the sense of
hurried, only in the expression avoir ha^te. Anyhow, since learning
French as an L2 with very little to no instruction at a young age led
to using e^tre in alot of the places you would use avoir, people would
say je suis ha^te or il est ha^te, which of course sounds like hot,
and makes you sound silly. Another one that might not count as a faux
ami but gets some chuckles anyway is the MTS center in winnipeg, MTS
standing for manitoba telecomunications service, but the french name
le centre MTS sounds like a venereal disease clinic (maladie transmise
sexuallement). MTS=STD

This one (from the other side) was one of the first false friends I
ever encountered. I know because I distinctly remember turning it
over and over in my mind, absolutely astounded by the concept that in
French it could mean something different.
I'm studying Swedish right now (BTW if anyone can email me any Swedish
learning resources you know of that would be great) and so I
encountered this hilarious video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpHniCEHY7I It mentions various
English/Swedish false friends, like apparently "slut" is Swedish for
"end". :D

And for Germans, DDR RAM sounds like RAM produced in the German Democratic

Simple food-related ones (all I know is restaurant-worker Spanish, so take

It does, but the Swedish vowel is quite different from the English one.
A better one, so to speak, is _fart_, meaning speed.
Similar to French, we've got _aktuell_ "present, current". Also of I
expect French origin is _eventuell_ "possible, conceivable", tho I
don't know what if anything it means in French.

Yes, that's cognate to German "Schluss" [ʃlʊs] with the same meaning.

Does "amper" have a Dutch etymology? It looks suspiciously like Malay hampir
'almost'....(the h- can be (almost) silent in some dialects.)

Could be related. IIRC, Malay and Indonesian are pretty close, and it
wouldn't be the first word that has be borrowed from Indonesian.

Wow, indeed! :)
According to < http://tinyurl.com/amper1 > it comes from Malay:

Registrar issues again. Looks like we didn't make a clean break with

David Durand has helped get it fixed, but the fix will take probably
