FALSE FRIEND: SENSIBLE
FALSE FRIEND: SENSIBLE: meaning and examples
Good morning.
We will finish our week of adjectives of personality by recycling a False Friend Daily Vitamin from a couple of years ago.
Today's word is: sensible
It means: reasonable and practical.
Example 1:
We are looking for someone sensible for the job, someone who can think for themselves and work without direct guidance.
Example 2:
Usually you are a sensible person, but today you are very difficult to work with; you are asking us to do things that you yourself would never do.
REMEMBER!
Sensible is a false friend. In Spanish/Catalan it means 'sensato/assenyat' and NOT 'sensible'. If you are a Daily Vitamin Plus subscriber, you can look up the word sensitive (another False Friend) by using the search function.
