How do you use cognate in a sentence?

Many Spanish words have cognates in English. This is very hard if you don't know to do them.


What is a cognate in French?

A cognate, in French, or any other language, is a word that shares common meaning and etymological roots between two languages. The common root is usually seen in similar spellings and pronunciations, in this case between English and French. For example, the cognate word "table" is spelled the same in both English and French. They both share roots in Old French, ultimately come from the same Latin word, tabula, meaning board. The words for duck (English, of germanic origin) and canard (French, of latin origin) are not cognate, and sound obviously different due to their dissimilar roots. Beware of loan words, however. Some words, like facade, or cafe, are borrowed terms from the French language, and as such have no true English equivalent and are not cognate.


What is a sentence using the word cognate?

What is the difference between Chinese grammar and English grammar?

Chinese grammar relies more on the order of words to convey meaning, while English grammar uses a combination of word order and function words to indicate the relationships between words. Chinese also uses different tones to distinguish meanings, while English relies on stress and intonation. Additionally, Chinese does not have tenses in the same way as English, and instead uses context to indicate time.
