/Sounds like "kahr" (as in "car") + "PEH" (as in "pet") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
In most of the Spanish-speaking world, a folder or binder for organizing papers. In Argentina and Uruguay, "carpeta" also means rug or carpet, the thing you step on when you come through the front door. Context is everything: very different objects sharing the same word.
“Wipe your shoes on the mat before coming in.”
“They put a new rug in the living room and it made the whole space feel much warmer.”
