Do English have words what can change its meaning with only one letter?

“Sweet” - adjective to describe foods flavor. Sweet treat like a candy or pastry

“Sweat” - a bodily secretion mainly consisting of water and having trace amounts of other minerals, lactic acid and urea.

Just one example

if you change the "w" in words like what, when, where to a "t", you get answers. what is answered by that, when is answered by then, and where is answered by there. it's just a coincidence but i think it's pretty cool

Most likely many more than Russian.

Have a good f_ight!

Naggers

my favorite ones are "friend" and "fiend"

alsoo i saw a post about russian translation of a phrase "f(r)iends forever" (don't really remember where is this from), and the suggested russian version was "т(о)варищи на века". fascinating.

not exactly related to the topic but confusing aids with AIDS is pretty funny

Literally every language does unless its some 100 word tokipona

Puck - хоккейная шайба

Yes. Many words change their meaning by changing only one letter.

Chord ➜ Cord
Aria ➜ Area
Stage ➜ Stare
Ballet ➜ Bullet

Some words can change to their opposite meaning with the addition of an "A-" prefix.

For example, social to asocial, or sexual to asexual.

Heard a Jimmy Carr's joke recently about a typo in "Kind regards", where a woman wrote "Kind retards" to a mentally challenged institution and got cancelled 😄

Sex -> set-> sit->sip->rip-> rap . You can go on all day lol

We have English words where you don't change shit and they mean something different.

Some farts are art but most art isn't a fart.

There are so many you literally can't count them.

There, they’re and their three different words

Here's a neat one: Good morning vs good mourning

А на дверях "Не слоняться".

Да много похожих слов в английском, которые не то, что звучат одинаково, а имеют другой смысл при произношении отдельно от других слов. Than/then, cam/cum. Например "lying on the ground" переводится как "лежать на земле", а если само слово "lying" брать, то это будет переводится, как "Врать", то же слово "Saw", которое может переводится как пила, а может переводится как "смотреть". И такого полно в английском языке, поэтому мне вообще не дается его изучить.

Dock

Tear - n/v a rip in something or the actual act of ripping something. Ex. There is a tear in my piece of paper.

Tear - n the droplets your eyes create when you cry.

Oh wait-

_uck.

Read and Read

"Read" is pronounced [reed], BUT! "Read" is pronounced [red]. There is a past tense on "read", [red] but a "pre tense" (I'm bad at this stuff) on "read" [reed].

For example: "I read two books today." (Using"read" [red]) And then: "I will read two books today." (Using "read" [reed])

Isn't English a ray of sunshine?

You’re very p(r)etty.

rapping and 😧

If someone don't know:
"ДерЖитесь за поручень" - Hold on to the handrail
"Дер_итесь за поручень" - Fight for the handrail

В английском языке много омофонов

“ West ” = запад

“ Best ” = лучший

“ Nest ” = гнездо

“ Vest ” = жилет

“ Lest ” = чтобы, иначе

“ Pest ” = вредитель, грызун, насекомое, досада

“ Guest ” (гэст) = гость

“ Rest ” = отдыхать, отдохнуть, расслабиться, остаток

“ Jest ” = шутка, высмеивать, шутить

итд

Yes of course, but I wouldn't say it's a word that changes its meaning with a one letter. I would say they are two different words that are one letter apart, and they are plenty. But, put, nut, hut. Ball, wall, mall, fall. Hat, mat, cat, sat. Bow, box, boy, bog. These are just some simple one syllables examples

At, bat, cat, eat, fat, hat, mat, oat, pat, rat, sat, vat...

For those wondering, it's supposed to say "держитесь на поручень" ("hold on to the handrail"), but the Ж fell off, so now it says "деритесь на поручень" ("fight on the handrail").

should have know better thats is possible to change words with a letter. Though most of them are not particularly clever

Yes but not like in Russian where you have dedicated letters for this. It’s usually with vowels. For example her vs here. The last e on here changes the way the first e is pronounced.

better / batter

pitter / patter

popper / lopper

stain / stein

Ахахах

Not English, but my personal favourite in Russian:

"В ближайшее время Россия передохн(е/ё)т от холода"

Ну например Ligma

Can’t / Cunt

English has a ton of it. There’s also words like read read reed red.

Also: shout out to set set set set set set set set…

Of the top of my head, because I'm not dead. And now I'll go eat some meat in this heat. And maybe beat. 😏

yes, a lot

"Are" and "area" are a neat pair, because one added letter adds two new syllables to the word.

Poll and pole, hear and here, band/band/banned, beat and beet, cell and sell just some examples

One letter is missing, it says "hold on"
