Après des siècles d’absence, le plus grand mammifère d’Europe va retrouver le territoire belge grâce au WWF-Belgique et ses partenaires. Cette réintroduction, prévue en 2027 dans le Parc national de Bosland (Limbourg), s’inscrit dans une dynamique européenne de conservation qui connaît un succès remarquable. Le bison jouera un rôle clé dans la restauration de l’écosystème forestier, créant une mosaïque de paysages diversifiés sur 500 hectares.

I own a Toyota knitting machine KS 901 and I recently found the matching ribber KR 501. The ribber is a bit in a rough shape but it's fixable. But when I tried to connect the two I realize that the ribber clamps that came with it are the wrong type and they don't fit right.

I've been looking everywhere for replacement clamps but I find very few. On eBay they're usually in the UK and they won't ship to me (I live in Belgium). Or I find generic clamps but I don't know if they'll fit my ribber.

(An image I found online of the ribber clamps I need)

Is there another place online where to find those? Or does anyone have the measurements for these particular clamps so that I can see if any of the generic ones match?

Le gouvernement fédéral, réuni en comité restreint, a trouvé dans la nuit de mardi un accord sur la position de la Belgique à l’égard du conflit israélo-palestinien et la situation dans la Bande de Gaza, a annoncé le ministre des Affaires étrangères, Maxime Prévot, dans un communiqué à l’issue d’une réunion en cabinet restreint. Il porte sur des sanctions à l’égard d’Israël et le processus de reconnaissance d’un Etat palestinien.

False friends 1: sensible / sensible

🇬🇧 sensible ↔ 🇨🇵 raisonnable

🇨🇵 sensible ↔ 🇬🇧 sensitive

The English word sensible is raisonnable in French, while the French word sensible means sensitive in English.

A sensible person in English is reasonable, i.e. raisonnable. In French, if a person is described as being sensible, it means this person is sensitive.

False friends 2: actually / actuellement

🇬🇧 actually ↔ 🇨🇵 en fait

🇨🇵 actuellement ↔ 🇬🇧 currently, at the moment

These false friends are probably the source of one of the most common mistakes I hear in my classes. Make sure you don’t mix the meanings up: to say actually use the phrase en fait in French. The French word actuellement means at present, currently in English.

False friends 3: carnation / carnation

🇬🇧 carnation ↔ 🇨🇵 œillet

🇨🇵 carnation ↔ 🇬🇧 complexion

A carnation in English is the word for the flower called œillet in French. In French, the word carnation describes the flesh tone, so the English word for that is complexion. See how easy it would be to mistranslate a sentence such as Il avait une carnation blanche and think it means He had a white carnation whilst it actually means Il avait un œillet blanc.

False friends 4: to deliver / délivrer

🇬🇧 to deliver ↔ 🇨🇵 livrer, distribuer, sauver

🇨🇵 délivrer ↔ 🇬🇧 set free, relieve

To deliver is the English verb to say livrer or distribuer in French, but also to say sauver, while délivrer means to set free, to relieve.

In English, you deliver a parcel for example; in French you can délivrer hostages.

False friends 5: to rest / rester

🇬🇧 to rest ↔ 🇨🇵 se reposer

🇨🇵 rester ↔ 🇬🇧 to stay

To rest is the English for se reposer. The French verb rester means to stay.

Of course, if you stay (rester) at home, you can rest (se reposer).

False friends 6: accommodate / accommoder

🇬🇧 to accommodate ↔ 🇨🇵 loger

🇨🇵 accommoder ↔ 🇬🇧 to prepare, to adapt

The English verb to accommodate is the equivalent of the French loger, héberger ; accommoder means to prepare (when talking about cooking) or to adapt and make suitable.

A room can accommodate 2 guests. In French, you accommode a dish, but you can also accommoder a room to say that you prepare the room so as to make it suitable for your guests (and there you can see the connection between the two).

False friends 7: chance / chance

🇬🇧 chance ↔ 🇨🇵 hasard

🇨🇵 chance ↔ 🇬🇧 luck

Chance is often confusing. The English word chance means hasard in French, but the French word chance means luck. Avoir de la chance is to be lucky. Something that happens by chance happens par hasard in French

False friends 8: injure / injure

🇬🇧 to injure ↔ 🇨🇵 blesser

🇨🇵 une injure ↔ 🇬🇧 an insult, an offense

The English verb to injure means blesser in French, but injure is a French noun that means insult in English.

In English, you can get injured in an accident but in French, if somebody offends you, you can say that was because of une injure. Clearly, both can hurt though.

False friends 9: cave / cave

🇬🇧 cave ↔ 🇨🇵 grotte

🇨🇵 cave ↔ 🇬🇧 cellar

Cave in English and cave in French have that in common that you find both below ground level. However an English cave is une grotte in French while a French cave is a cellar in English.

False friend 10: library / librairie

🇬🇧 library ↔ 🇨🇵 bibliothèque

🇨🇵 librairie ↔ 🇬🇧 bookshop / bookstore

These two are very confusing for a lot of learners of French or English because both words have to do with a place where you find books. Still, a library is where you can borrow books and that is called une bibliothèque in French. Une librairie is where you can buy books, what you call a bookshop in British English and a bookstore in American English.
