spenden
The German verb spenden is a false friend which might easily be taken to mean to spend. In fact spenden means to donate, often to a charitable cause money or blood, for example. Ich habe letzte Woche Blut gespendet would best be translated as I gave blood last week.
The English verb to spend is used in a variety of contexts, of which the most important are: to spend money Geld ausgeben , and to spend the weekend das Wochenende verbringen .
