      inverse meanings

      Linguistical paradoxes! --- Thanks Christian and Biljana for these examples!

      It is not a paradox, but in Spanish (at least in Mexico) we tend so ask for "un vaso de agua" (a glass of water, which is perfectly ok in English), but the precise meaning of that phrase is that the glass is made of water. We should rather ask for a "vaso con agua" (a glass containing water).
