French meaning ‘dirty’ as cognates when it is not the case. For words to qualify the label of true cognates or false cognates , they have to be related semantically. In the case of true cognates, there has to the an identity of meaning., a one-to-one relationship between the two lexical items in both languages. In the case of false cognates, there is a metonymic relationship between the referents of both words. That is, an association or factual contiguity, exists in those referents. This relation can be that of cause and effect (ex. a blind area), part and whole (ex. Washington sent a letter of protest to Moscow), content and container (ex. the White House invited the Kremlin) , product and origin (ex. they were smoking a Havana), product and producer (ex. he bought a Picasso), emblem and institution (ex.
