The English translation of the French word 'verbe' is verb. Sometimes, translations are direct, literal and obvious. In such cases, the words are called cognates. Other times, literal, word-by-word translations aren't what native speakers and writers actually use. In such cases, the words may look the same but have different meanings. In such cases, the words are called false cognates.
