Homonyms are words that are spelled the same and sound the same but have different meanings., e.g. TIRE which can both mean to grow fatigued and a part of a wheel.
Homonimy są to słowa, które mają taką samą pisownię i wymowę, ale inne znaczenia, np. słowo TIRE, które może znaczyć zarówno męczyć się, jak i opona.
