Sure. For example, you might meet a friend during a travel. You share a lot of great moments together, like a wonderful story. But then, as the journey ends, you part ways and the friendship becomes a memory, just like a story carried away by the wind.
Here's an example. The English word 'sympathetic' and the Portuguese 'simpático'. In English, 'sympathetic' means showing pity or understanding. However, in Portuguese, 'simpático' means nice or friendly. So, if a Portuguese person says someone is'simpático' and an English - speaking person interprets it as'sympathetic' in the English sense, there could be a misunderstanding. This kind of misinterpretation is at the heart of a false friend story.
