En mis clases de español aprendí que se llaman "amigos falsos" o "false friends" o "false cognates".
"hay mejor" sounds like..."I'm a whore." (preguntame como lo se....)
actual (sp) = current, now
asistir = to attend
atender = to serve
campo = field
carpeta = briefcase
compromiso = commitment
constipado = stuffy nosed!
contestar = to answer
Hay muchas mas...busca "false cognates spanish" para verlas.
