15 False Cognates in Spanish That Will Trip You Up and Confuse You

If you have studied Spanish for a little while, you’ve likely noticed the many similarities between English and Spanish, especially the words we call cognates. Owing to both languages’ Latin roots, it’s pretty easy to identify the meaning of new words in Spanish, for the most part!
Watch out for the trickiest part of learning Spanish: the false cognate. This word looks like it means the same thing in English when in reality, it does not!

    I think “largo” is a false friend rather than a false cognate. From what I would know as of this comment, false friends do not mean the exact same thing but would have to be related in meaning while false cognates have nothing to do with each other and therefore only look or are pronounced similarly. “Largo” might mean long, but something long is large in a sense.

    So since Salida means exit in Spanish do people get confused by this word thinking that it means salad at first?

    En Centroamérica, El Caribe y una parte de Sudamérica se le dice "carro" al automóvil.

    But automobile is a synonym for car in English, so I think automóvil might be something like a part-time cognate.

    Another false cognate capacitation isn't capacitación.
