homographs in different languages

hi, fellow linguaphiles. let\s do this just for fun:D do you know any words that are written the same way in two languages with different meanings? if it's written in alphabet, ignore all characters/pictograph. i know sun in english means sun, while in (read soon) indonesian it means kiss(but only for children or lovers) which homographs do you know^_^?

(ps: when i first saw this on tv and didn't recognise the language, i thought they sounded like some indonesian rock band)

First one to guess gets a ficlet of his or her own choosing. (ETA: Google is apparently a far better translator, as several I tried almost resembled themselves in the end. Almost .) (ETA2: All guessed) Ficlets: ...
