Italian
sei - six

("Sei tu la mia gioia?")

MissingHorcrux Italian sei - six sei - you are It makes for quirky translations. XD I have a shirt I bought in Italy that says, in English: "Six you it my joy?" ("Sei tu la mia gioia?") whee In the pausini-fan forum, I see them shorten up "sei"(meaning "two") as "6". For example, "6 la più divina!" 3nodding It's kind of cool.

I was like : What what what? "nourriture" and "innondation" sound almost the same !!!

There are tons in Chinese!
Even if you count tones as part of "sound the same," there are still plenty of things like:
电 (dian4) -- electricity
店 (dian4) -- store
做 (zuo4) -- to do
坐 (zuo4) -- to sit
是 (shi4) -- to be
事 (shi4) -- matter, affair
式 (shi4) -- test, to try
室 (shi4) -- room
and so on.
And then if you take tones out of the picture (say, if you're tone-deaf or something, and so they'll all sound the same to you anyway):
汽车 (qi4che1) -- car
骑车 (qi2che1) -- to ride a bike
看书 (kan4shu1) -- to read books
砍树 (kan3shu4) -- to chop down trees
and of course the ever-so-popular and hilariously common mistake:
请问 (qing3 wen4) -- "If I may ask..."
请吻 (qing2 wen3) -- "Please kiss me."
