Spanish false friend
sopa doesn’t mean “soap”
It actually means soup.
The trap
Asking for 'sopa' in the bathroom will get you a confused waiter and zero hand-washing.
Example
Hace frío, voy a hacer una sopa caliente.
It's cold, I'm going to make a hot soup.
So how do you say “soap” in Spanish?
Use jabón.
