False friends in German and English
Some of the German conjunctions and basic adverbs might be a bit confusing for someone who already knows English, because there are quite a few false friends among them:
| German | English |
| auch | also |
| also | so (when conjunction, as in “so let’s go”) |
| so | so (when adverb, as in “so good”) |
| wo | where |
| wer | who |
| wenn | if |
| wenn | “when” in conditional |
| wann | “when” in question |
| wie | as |
| als | than |
| dann | then |
| denn | because |
