Spoken exactly the same way, almost exactly opposite meanings.

Read the word "choir" and "noir". Spelled exactly the same with "-oir" ending, pronounced completely different. 🥴

Almost like English isn't actually a language, but three languages in a trenchcoat.

Every language has been influenced by others. English monolinguals just really like to think theirs is special.

In german there are some words that mean exact the opposite despite being written exactly the same. "Umfahren" means drive around somthing and also right into it.
