zoomer

This is how you would express 'to zoom' in the sense of moving very quickly, like 'to drive at full speed'.

While 'magnifier' exists in French, 'zoomer' is the more common and natural term for adjusting the view of an image/video.

These verbs mean 'to enlarge' and 'to shrink' respectively, and can be used in contexts where 'zoomer' also applies, but 'zoomer' is specific to visual magnification.

This is a false cognate. English speakers might think it means 'to zoom' in the sense of moving quickly, like a car zooming past. However, in French, 'zoomer' specifically refers to adjusting the magnification of a view.

In French, 'zoomer' is about changing the scale of an image or video, similar to 'magnify' or 'zoom in/out'. It does not mean to move at high speed.

Pouvez-vous zoomer sur cette photo? (Can you zoom in on this picture?)

Looks like 'actually' in English.

Means 'currently' or 'at the present time', not 'in reality' or 'in fact'.

Actuellement, je suis en train de lire. (Currently, I am reading.)

Looks like 'sensible' in English.

Means 'sensitive' (easily affected emotionally or physically), not 'reasonable' or 'practical'.

Elle est très sensible au froid. (She is very sensitive to the cold.)

Looks like 'library' in English.

Means 'bookstore', not a place to borrow books. The French word for library is 'bibliothèque'.

J'achète des livres à la librairie. (I buy books at the bookstore.)

While similar, English speakers might use 'bravo' more exclusively for performances.

In French, 'bravo' is a very common and versatile way to say 'well done' or 'good job' in many situations, not just for artistic performances.

Bravo, tu as bien travaillé! (Well done, you worked well!)
