Word: true friend Part of Speech: noun Etymology: By analogy with false friend. 1. A word in a language that bears a resemblance to a word in another language and has an equivalent meaning. Labels: uncommon Example: True friends are such words when they have precisely or approximately the same meanings in one or more other languages. […] I have written many times that true friends are more numerous than false friends, particularly in the scitech vocabulary, where however there is an important minority of key false friends, carefully listed by my dear colleague Jean Maillot (he has died) in his invaluable La Traduction scientifique et technique (Paris 1981). Example: Ronnie Ferguson, author of Italian False Friends (1994: ix), rightly emphasizes that “[a]ccurate translation . . . as well as the proper appreciation of advanced Italian texts, hinge on the confident handling of key words”; among other examples he mentions key words such as attuale (present / topical, never actual), and eventuale (not eventual but possible), which – like their German “true friends” (aktuell, and eventuell) – are false friends of the English words resembling them in form. 2. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see true, friend. Example: There is a well-known proverb, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." Americans have always been our true friends. They stretched out warm helping hands to us when we were in direst need. The Fulbright Program, which was initiated in the throes of the Korean War, has been one such helping hand.

Example: But of even deeper concern to the experts have been the more than 400 seismic tremors since April 26 in a single area in South Jeolla Province, in the far south-west of the peninsula. The region has not reported seismic activity since the government first began collating data in 1978.

Example: Everyone in the story is absolutely outside time, everything in it is terribly old-fashioned and affected, the "hero" with all of his experiences is infinitely shallow, pompous, and low-standard.
