False Friends: Actually
por Mary em 11/03/2008
Actually means “na verdade.”
Atualmente means “currently, today.”
We say, “Where are you currently employed?” or “Where are you currently working?”
We do not say, “Where are you actually working?”
That would mean the the speaker does not believe that you are working where you said you work. He is asking where you really work (na verdade).
