"Fine" in English actually meant "grand, wonderful, expensive" up until recently. It's still sometimes used this way. A lot of false friends used to have the same meaning but took on and changed to another in one or both languages
Excellent stuff! Any chance that you can do a False friends in German and Dutch? For example: seltsam in German really means strange unlike zeldzaam! It would be even funnier than with English.
Funny thing is in Indonesian there is a word Kelar (sounded similar to Klaar) and its only means "done" or "finished" (e.g. pekerjaanku sudah kelar = my work is done) but it doesn't mean anything close to clear/transparent.
Ik vind de slechtste is "slim"😂😂😂. Klaar = ready. Clear = duidelijk, helder Wachten = to wait for To expect = verwachten In verwachting zijn = to be pregnant 🤰 Bezig, druk = busy Ik heb het druk = I'm busy Uiteindelijk = finally Eventueel = maybe, moreover Raar = strange Zeldzaam = rare, seldom
Zeldzaam sounds like Seltsam (🇩🇪), but seltsam means strange so this is is a biiiig false friend. On the other hand, raar sounds like rar, kind of like Rarität (🇩🇪), something that is really rare 😂😂😂

Another is “want”,in English you know,but in Dutch it means “because” but if you want you can also use omdat wich means the same
