(False Cognates are words which are similar in both langua...)
False Cognates are words which are similar in both languages but have a different meaning: rent (alquiler)/renta (income). Those seemingly friendly words offer an easy but deceiving translation and present the most frequent pitfalls to the builingual-speaking person. An indispensible tool for tranlators, interpreters, and serious students of spanish. Includes over 2,000 English and Spanish false cognates with over 10,000 definitions. The most comprehensive work of this type to date. The dictionary is completely bilingual and has separate Enlish and Spanish sections.
