<em>False cognates</em> are word pairs that sound similar and even are written similar, but have different meanings. False cognates can be found between different languages, but also within the same language. For example, English and Swedish word gift is written in the same way, but in Swedish gift means poison or married.
In the given ad the false cognate refers to the word <em>folder</em>. <em>Carpet</em> was translated into <em>carpeta</em> which in Spanish means folder. So the right translation into Spanish would be <em>alfombra</em> which in English means <em>carpet</em>.
