Comment on Same word. Different places? Different meanings

Comments

It does seem like a bit of an ad splash page.

But on the topic of different meanings, my favourite example is in Greek, you as "Τι κάνετε" "What are you doing" literally but it translates as "How are you?". These things go always translate directly, and if you are speaking with a nonnative it's likely that these things will occur.
