      Usage notes

      edit
      • carta is a false friend and generally does not mean "card" (unless referring to playing cards). A more accurate translation for most meanings of the English word "card" (including a payment card, an identity card, a membership card, a postcard, and a colour card used in sports by referees) is tarjeta.
