Confidence, nf : secret.

The French word « confidence » looks exactly like the English word “confidence.” The problem is that the word “confidence” has a different meaning in English than it does in French.

In English, “confidence” can mean “secret,” but in general it is used to signify “assurance” or “trust.”

In French, « confidence » generally means “a secret.”

Elle fait ses confidences à sa meilleure amie.

She tells her secrets to her best friend.
