I have begun a new series for La Parola del Giorno consisting of false friends. False friends are pairs of words or phrases in two languages that look or sound similar, but differ significantly in meaning.
Today’s Parola del Giorno is the verb sopportare, which means to tolerate, to bear, to stand. It does not mean to support.
Non posso sopportare il freddo.
I can’t tolerate the cold.
