Uff. Just read a very bad Spanish to English translation. Person obvs got caught up by one word, then missed the entire meaning of a phrase.

Pretender in Spanish is what you aim to get out of, or what you expect to get out of, a given situation.
-
Pretender in Spanish can also mean the way you court a potential love. But it never means to pretend to be something/someone else.
-
I thought it was like trying to do something or attempting to do it?
-
Could be, but procurar might be a better verb, depending on what is being said
-
oh... I see, I too got thrown by the apparent cognate. :) It might be one of those things I never quite grok
-
As long as you don't think it's to pretend, you're fine

Yes. Similarly, wollen (German, conjugated with some subjects as "will") does not mean will (English). Similar words, different meaning.
