False cognates

Draft 2 – Word. I want to show some interesting facts about English words. There are three of them I will show.

For example, many people might call the English word “parents” (pais) and the Portuguese word “parentes” (relatives) a false cognate. However, this is wrong. The main difference between false cognate and false friend it’s about the root of the word. Cognate -> Words share the same root. Ex. Name (englsh) x Nome (Portuguese) = both originate from the Indo-European word ‘’nomen’’. Don’t necessarily have to share the same meaning. False cognate -> Similar meaning or form to another, but the root is different. Ex. Have (englsh) x haver (Portuguese) = they don’t share the same root. “To have” comes from the Indo-European word “kap”, while the origin of “haver” is unknown. More examples: False friend…
