Summary/Abstract: The article presents the phenomenon of interlingual homonimy between the Polish and Spanish language systems. The homonymic pairs are commonly called false friends (Span. falsos amigos) because they tend to cause certain linguistic errors and misunderstandings. The author presents this phenomenon based on the chosen words whose pronunciation and spelling are similar enough to be considered by an inexpert speaker as words with common etymology and meaning. The analyzed words have been divided according to the classification criteria for the homonyms proposed by Małgorzata Majewska.
