Mots identiques en
français et en
anglais
On estime que 29% des mots de l’anglais moderne sont issus du français (source Wikipedia). De plus, un
autre 29% des mots anglais sont issus du latin (dont beaucoup de mots scientifiques).

Mais, cela fonctionne aussi dans l’autre sens : beaucoup de vocabulaire français vient de l’anglais.

Il existe donc de nombreux mots qui sont similaires en français et en anglais. Certains sont de FAUX
amis, car ils n’ont pas le même sens.

En revanche, un grand nombre sont des VRAIS amis, ou presque : ils ont un sens proche ou similaire, et
s’écrivent de la même manière. Vous trouverez ci-dessous une liste de ceux-ci !

Ces mots constituent une bonne manière d’apprendre beaucoup de vocabulaire avec peu d’efforts.

Mais attention, souvent les mots d’origine française appartiennent au langage soutenu, vous paraitrez
peut-être un peu pompeux ou intellectuel si vous n’utilisez que ces mots-là.

Enfin, sachez que si l’orthographe est semblable, la prononciation, elle, est le plus souvent totalement
différente !
Ces mots restent néanmoins une formidable ressource pour les Francophones voulant apprendre
beaucoup de vocabulaire anglais.
