Question

Escribe una lista de 4 "cognados falsos." (4 points)

Answer 1

The directions ask us to "write a list of four false cognates."

A FALSE COGNATE is a pair of words,
in two different languages,
that look the same,
but have totally different meanings.

Here, I'll give you one example:

English: ASSIST
Spanish: ASISTIR

We both know what "assist" means, in English.
It means "help."

But "asistir" doesn't mean "help," in Spanish.
It actually means "to attend."
Like "to attend a party."
