Italian and Spanish share many similar words. A number of Italian words which end with an e have a word-final consonant in Spanish. Here is a list with the Italian word followed by the Spanish:
amore amor (love)
colore color (colour)
dolore dolor (pain)
mare mar (sea)
mese mes (month)
pane pan (bread)
reale real (royal)
sale sal (salt)
sole sol (sun)
universale universal (universal)
Spanish has far more words with word-final consonants than does Italian. In many cases the word-final e of Italian is absent in Spanish. This correspondence is illustrated in the list.
