do you know any words that you heard from different languages that sounds like from your language but then it's different meaning?

like i found out one word in japanese, "kiseki"... if you say that, then it's a cussing word in korean >.<;;;; my friends were all laughin' cause of it and also...

i also found vietnamese word "heo" if u say it then it sounds like they are saying "hell" haha. im not makin' fun of their languages and all...just interesting.

so do you know any words that you heard from different languages that sounds like from your lanuage but then it's a different meaning?

Facit in Latin almost sounds like f*ck it.
And faciunt.. it almost sounds like f*ck it, also.

Facit & faciunt both mean "do" "is doing" "are doing"
Depends on which one.. one's plural, and blah blah blah.

Spanish is really close to the Filipino language since Filipino(tagalog) is mostly derived from Spanish.

The filipino word 'Puto' (some sweet rice pastry) is a bad word in Spanish. Meh.

I remember a few years ago in Spanish class my teacher asked a classmate "Tienes una pregunta?" or something like that....and they thought that she said something about being pregnant when she really asked if he had a question.
