Mixed German-English Cognates 1

Posted on by TheGermanProfessor — No Comments ↓
German and English share many words that look or sound the same because the words share a common root. These words are called cognates. As languages develop over time, spellings, pronunciation, and word meanings can shift. For this reason, cognates don't always have the same meaning, phonology, or usage in both languages today, though we can often still see correspondences in each area.

Can you find the correct English cognates of each of the German words?
