"False Friend Handy"

What is a False Friend? False Friend is the English name for translation problems.

The concept "Mobile phone" is not English. In England the word "handy" describes handily or useful. The correct translation is "mobile" (short form) or "mobile phone". Therefore the word Mobile phone is a so-called "false Anglicism".
