Comment on What are the most confusing false friends from your language to another that are spelt exactly the same?

The one that springs to mind is the German bekommen v the English to become.

EN DE to become werden to get bekommen

They are basically the same word and at one point might’ve meant the same. Now there is no common meaning.
