cynicism falso amigo Explanation: Esto dice el diccionario de falsos amigos: Cynic(al) no es cínico, sino sarcástico, capcioso, escéptico, desconfiado, burlón, despreciativo. Por otra parte, cínico ha degradado la denotación original para referirse a shameless [descarado], brazen, impudent [desvergonzado]. De modo similar, cynicism es sarcasmo, escepticismo, burla, desprecio mientras que cinismo significa shamelessness, brazenness. What a nerve! = ¡qué cinismo! |
