1. Italian
   Spanish
2. Both
   Neither

The Italian word is similar, "cucina," and it's no doubt that Italians love to cook, or "cucinare." Food, or "comida" in Spanish, is also a big part of Spanish-speaking cultures, from curanto in Chile to ceviche in Peru.

1. Desayuno
   Colazione
2. Cena
   Almuerzo

It’s common to refer to breakfast as "la prima colazione" in Italian, meaning "the first meal." Both Italian and Spanish use "cena" for "dinner," but only Spanish uses "desayuno" for "breakfast" and "almuerzo" for "lunch."

1. Italian
   Spanish
2. Both
   Neither

Both Italian and Spanish contain gendered nouns, and "corridore" is a male runner. The female version is "corritrice." The Spanish term looks a lot like its Italian cousin: "corredor(a)."

1. Romance
   Romancia
2. Amor
   Romanza

While you might suspect that "romancia" is the Spanish variation, in fact, it's the first option. Who would’ve known? "Amor" is the Spanish word for "love," and "amore" is the Italian counterpart.

1. Vecino
   Siempre
2. Riso
   Jardín

Why your neighbor would always be cooking rice in their backyard is a mystery. Regardless, "arroz" should be here, though it’s no wonder where risotto — the delicious Italian staple — got its name.

1. "Mujer" and "hombre"
   "Giorno" and "notte"
2. "Pulito" and "sucio"
   "Caldo" and "freddo"

Each answer contains opposites, with the first being the Spanish words for "man and woman," and the second being "day" and "night" in Italian. The answer is "clean" in Italian and "dirty" in Spanish, and the last is Italian for "hot" and "cold."

1. Sole
   Sol
2. Pioggia
   Lluvia

It often only takes one letter to distinguish Italian and Spanish words, in this case the "e." If it had been raining, the forecast would’ve called for "pioggia" — but if you were in a Spanish-speaking country, it would be "lluvia."

1. Luna
   Nube
2. Casa
   Portafoglio

The words for "moon," "cloud" and "house" are the same in both Spanish and Italian. But the Spanish equivalent of "portafoglio" — a wallet — is "billetera," easily remembered by noting that bills are kept in wallets.

1. Voglio
   Mangiare
2. Postre
   Questo

The sentence translates to, "I want to eat a dessert right now," and honestly, nobody’s blaming you. The correct word is "un dolce" or "un dessert," and the sentence’s Spanish variation is “Quiero comer un postre ahora mismo.”

1. Ho fame
   Tengo hambre
2. Both
   Neither

Both Spanish and Italian refer to "having hunger" – in the first option, "ho" is the Italian word for "have," and "fame" is "hunger." "Tengo" is the first person singular of the verb "tener," also meaning "to have."

If you’ve been an "estudiante" of Spanish, you’d know that the Spanish answer is "estudiar." And if you haven't, "acabas de aprender" — you just learned — something new. You may have noticed that "studiare" and "estudiar" are essentially the same but with the "e" reversed.

1. Serpientes
   Y
2. Scale
   Trick question: each option is correct.

The proper translation is "Serpientes Y Escaleras," and the Italian variation is "Serpenti E Scale." Regardless of the language, it's a fun game — or "juego divertido" in Spanish and "gioco divertente" in Italian.

1. "Spiaggia" and "playa"
   "Barca" and "bote"
2. "Tavolo" and "mesa"
   "Tenedor" and "cuchillo"

The Italian and Spanish words for "beach," "boat" and "table" look quite different from each other. Speaking of tables, you’ll likely find a "tenedor" and "cuchillo" — "fork" and "knife" — on one.

Believe it or not, the Italian word for "banana" is ... drum roll ... "la banana." So if you’re ever asked to speak a foreign language, just say "banana," though the person you’re talking to might think you’re "matto," or nuts.

1. Sono
   Andato
2. Verano
   Scorsa

The question's phrase, "I went to Florence last summer," is a dream but the mistake is a nightmare. "Verano" is the Spanish word for "summer," which should’ve been "estate." Fun fact: Just as location names often change depending on the language, "Florence" in Spanish is "Florencia."

1. Verde
   Blanco
2. Rosso
   None of the above

This question is a bit tricky, because "verde" is also the Spanish word for "green." The second option should be "bianco" (or "bianca" if modifying a female noun), while the Spanish equivalent of "rosso" is "rojo" (or "roja").

1. Pintura
   Dipinti
2. Pintar
   Dipingere

There’s no doubt an abundance of gorgeous "pinturas" in the Prado Museum in Madrid, and likewise for the "dipinti" in Rome’s Galleria Borghese. "Pintar" and "dipingere" are the verbs for "to paint" in Spanish and Italian, respectively.

1. Spanish, your name
   Spanish, your number
2. Italian, your name
   Italian, your number

Unbeknownst to many people, Italian is one of Switzerland’s official languages. Had the person been speaking Spanish, they would’ve asked for your "nombre," which looks a lot like "number," but that’s "número" The Italian variation of "number" is almost identical: "numero."

The Italian word is "volcano" and, guess what, the translation of "lava" is "lava." Care to guess the Spanish word? You'll be amused to know it's also "lava." What about eruption? "Erupción" and "eruzione" in Spanish and Italian, respectively.

1. Burro
   Pronto
2. Mano
   Topo

Ask a Spanish speaker for a "burro" and they’ll wonder why you’re requesting a donkey. An Italian, on the other hand, will pass you butter. If you say you need it "pronto" in Spanish, they’ll think you need it soon, whereas an Italian will think you’re saying "I’m ready." This is odd for English speakers, but "topo" doesn’t mean "top" in either language – it's "mouse" in Italian and "mole" in Spanish.

1. "Domande" and "risposte"
   "Preguntas" and "respuestas"
2. "Domande" and "respuestas"
   "Preguntas" and "risposte"

"Preguntas" is the Spanish word for "questions," and "respuestas" means "answers." The Italian verb for "to ask" is "domandare," though there are several variations for specific ways of questioning, such as "interrogare" for "to interrogate."

1. Occhiali
   Me
2. Quedaban
   Bien

This sentence says, "The glasses didn't look good on me," or "The glasses didn't suit me," and its Italian equivalent is, "Gli occhiali non mi andavano bene," with "occhiali" replacing "gafas."

1. Vino
   Agua
2. Cerveza
   Leche

This is a bit of a twist, because "vino" is also the Spanish word for "wine." The other three options are Spanish, meaning "water," "beer" and "milk" — or "acqua," "birra" and "latte" in Italian.

1. Gente
   Persone
2. Población
   Popolazione

A population is comprised of people, or "gente" and "persone" in Spanish and Italian. Rome is estimated to have about 2.8 million people, making it Italy's biggest city, though this doesn't include urban areas. Milan is the second-largest, with 1.7 million inhabitants, but counting urban zones renders it much bigger.

1. "Contento" and "gioioso"
   "Triste" and "infelice"
2. "Preoccupato" and "ansioso"
   "Eccitato" and "emocionado"

If you didn't answer the first, you're probably "contento" or "gioioso" — happy or joyful. If you answered the second, you might be "triste" or "infelice" — sad or unhappy. And if you're worried or anxious about your Italian skills, you might have accidentally picked the third. "Emocionado" is Spanish for "excited," which is surely what you're feeling if you got this right.

1. Corretto e incorrecto
   Correcto e scorretto
2. Corretto e scorretto
   Correcto e incorrecto

Another way of saying "wrong" in Italian is "sbagliato," or "sbagliata" if referring to a female noun. If talking about the verb "to correct," use "correggere" in Italian and "corregir" in Spanish.

1. Mar
   Arena
2. Costiera
   Toalla

"Mar" means "sea" in Spanish, and the Amalfi Coast lies on the Tyrrhenian Sea. You'll surely encounter "arena," Spanish for "sand," on the coastline. And you'll need a "toalla" or "towel" if you plan on hitting the beach. Sometimes, "costiera" is used interchangeably with "costa," meaning "coast."

1. Camicia e pantaloni
   Camisa e pantaloni
2. Camicia e pantalones
   Camisa e pantalones

"Camisa" and "pantalones" are the Spanish counterparts, but there are variations depending on the type of shirt and pants. For example, a "T-shirt" is "una camiseta," and "shorts" are "pantalones cortos" or simply "shorts."

1. Electricidad
   Elettricità
2. Voltaje
   Voltaggio

"Voltaje" and "voltaggio" mean "voltage" in Spanish and Italian, respectively, but should not be confused with the words for "volt" — "voltio" and "volt." In case you're baffled about the difference, even in English, volts are a unit of measure for voltage, which is an electromotive force.

1. Nuestro
   Volo
2. Fue
   Esperamos

This sentence translates to, "Our flight was late and we waited two hours," but the "volo" should be "vuelo." The Italian version is, "Il nostro volo era in ritardo e abbiamo aspettato due ore."

1. Orgulloso
   Enfadado
2. Lento
   Lentamente

You might be "orgulloso" — or proud — if you got the answer right, but you might be "enfadado" — or angry — if it's wrong. If you were slow to answer, you could say you were "lento."

1. Nord
   Sud
2. Este
   Ovest

The Italian version of "east" is "est," whereas the Spanish answers would be "norte," "sur" and "oeste." If you decide to buy a map, ask the clerk for a "mappa." If you were in a Spanish-speaking country, you'd request a "mapa."

1. Camarero
   Mucama
2. Autista
   Guía

You'll surely encounter a "camarero," Spanish for "waiter," on a trip. If staying at a hotel, you'll also likely talk to a "mucama," or "maid." The Spanish equivalent of "autista" — a driver — is a "conductor," who may even be your guide, or "guía."

1. Izquierda y derecha
   Izquierda y destra
2. Sinistra y derecha
   Sinistra y destra

Left-handed Italians must love knowing their handedness sounds a lot like the word "sinister": "sinistro." Don't confuse "derecha" with "derecho," which refers to a "right," such as human rights.

1. Enero
   Mayo
2. Junio
   Luglio

The Italian translation of "January," the first answer, is "gennaio." "Maggio" and "giugno" are "May" and "June," options two and three, and the Spanish version of "July" is "julio."
