      I remember specifically being taught about cognates in Spanish class. Words in different languages that sound close to each other and having the same meaning.  Now I can't think of a single example......

        Cognate have few meanings:
        - In linguistics: words that have common origin.
        - Related by blood, for instance: brothers are cognate.
        - Similar or related in qulity or character.
