False Friends
PassionFruit: I'm starting a list of "false friends" -- words that you think you
know, but that turn out to be something entirely different. For example, the Hungarian word szelet, pronounced the way Hungarians pronounce the English
word salad, means steak. The word hello means goodbye. (As well as hello.)
This is our favorite tea-house, Ezer Tea. We're spending hours here, studying, reading, gossiping and just generally hanging out. They have a fine loose-leaf tea selection and a very comfortable, pleasant place to sit.
