Cognates are words that are written the same or very similar between two languages and that mean the same or refer to the same, <u>so false cognates are those that are written the same but do not refer to the same</u>, in the case of the word <u><em>"computadora,"</em></u> its correct English translation is "laptop," since the word <u>computer regularly refers to the desktop computer you have</u>, and laptop to the laptop that is usually called <u><em>"computadora."</em></u>
