SPANISH-ENGLISH COGNATES

The languages are more alike than most people think. Many of the words from the English language stem from

the Spanish language.

MORE ALIKE THAN WE THINK

1. There are some Spanish words that when you see them, you know (or think you know) what they mean. They may be spelled exactly alike—or similar to—an English word. An example would be capital.

2. These words are called cognates. Although cognates may be spelled like English words, they are not pronounced the same.

3. Cognates are words that look alike and have similar meanings in English and Spanish.
