Palabras diferentes para los mismos objetos en español.

Different words for the same objects in Spanish .

A Colombian friend has confounded me recently by using a different word for

for an object which I had thought had only one meaning.

I said I light a candela' each night , but she said that in Colombia a candela'

is a cigarette lighter'.I believe that in the rest of the Spanish world they use

encendedor for lighter or mechero, and candela or *vela is a candle.

(1 ) Is this correct ?

( 2 ) Are there any more such words that you are aware of .

Please give examples in both languages please ,I would love to know.
