Cognados Cognates
-
Cognados There are some Spanish words that
when you see them, you know (or think
you know) what they mean. They may
be spelled exactly like-or similar to-an
English word.
An example would be capital.
Such words are called cognates.
-
Cognates are our friends
Although cognates may be spelled
like our words, they are NOT pronounced the same.

Cuidado—Beware! There are words which look like
English words but are actually
what are called “FALSE
COGNATES” or “FALSE FRIENDS: LOS AMIGOS FALSOS

Look at the following words:
pie
pan
meter
If they are English words, we know what they mean. BUT…..if they are Spanish—do we?

THE REAL MEANING
Pie =foot, NOT pie
Pan =bread, NOT pan
Meter =to put or to place, not meter

mean?

sin: without
saber: to know
sopa: soup
embarazada: pregnant
leer: to read
