Re: False cognates thread
Thanks for clarifying. I though false friends were similar sounding words that meant different things and that didn't necessarily need to be related or similar origins

Re: False cognates thread
כיתה : "Classroom" in Hebrew(kitah). Quita: "Take this out" in Spanish. German Kita (< Ki nder ta gesstätte) 'day care' springs to my mind here. Of course, a day care is not a classroom either, but reasonably close. That's interesting. I guess it's used as slang, informally.

Re: False friends thread
Hebrew/Spanish:
מסיבה: Mesibah (Means party in Hebrew)
Masiva: Is the feminine singular for Massive, in Spanish.
I got this false friend from a song in Spanish. I thought it was about parties.
