Spanish false friend

sensible doesn’t mean “sensible (reasonable)

It actually means sensitive (emotionally).

Example

Es una persona muy sensible, llora con facilidad.

She's a very sensitive person, she cries easily.

So how do you say “sensible (reasonable)” in Spanish?

Use sensato, prudente.
