Vocaloid (vocaloid):

can you think of any examples?

OpenStudy (aleah54):

no

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

well, for true cognates we have the words refridgerator (english) and refridgerador (spanish)

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

they look similar and they have the same meaning

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

fábrica is a false cognate since it looks like the english word fabric, but means factory

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

some examples of borrowed words are hors d'oeuvre (french), rodeo (spanish), and sushi (japanese)
