Facet - guy / bloke / chap
One of the more tricksy facets of language learning is when you come across a false friend, a word that looks similar or identical to a word in your native language, but is not related to it at all. Facet is such a word. In English, facet means an aspect of something and is related to the word face . The English word facetious is related to the Polish word facet . They both come from the Latin facētus to mean courtly, elegant, witty or amusing. Over time, in Polish, facet moved from being an elegant, courtly man to being a less noble and more colloquial term for a man. Just some guy. Tylko jakiś facet. - Kto to jest? Who's that? - Nie wiem. Jakiś facet. Dunno. Some guy.
