Spanish false friend
discutir doesn’t mean “to discuss”
It actually means to argue, to have a heated exchange.
The trap
Telling your colleague 'tenemos que discutir esto' isn't a calm meeting invite — it sounds like you're spoiling for a fight.
Example
Mis padres siempre discuten por dinero.
My parents always argue about money.
So how do you say “to discuss” in Spanish?
Use conversar, hablar de.
