Abstract:International terms acquire different basic or additional meanings when they enter Romanian. This led to false friends or false cognates. Having a similar form in English and Romanian, one has the tendency to use the Romanian form with the English meaning or vice versa. The present study illustrates this tendency trough examples from naval architecture texts.
Key words:false friends, false cognates, naval architecture language, semantics
