Fragen über die Beispielsätze mit, und die Definition und Benutzung von "Cognate"

A: The verb abdicate is a cognate of the Spanish verb 'abdicar'. Words that have the same roots are cognates I believe.

A: words that are similar in different languages:

posible - possible
coordinar - coordinate
evidente - evident

you get it.

A: "He sang the song."
"He laughed a bitter laugh." = "He laughed bitterly."
"She walked their walk." = "She walked like they did."
"He dreamed a strange dream." = "He dreamed, and his dream was strange."
"She ran a far run." = "She ran far." or "She ran, and her run was far."

(Left sentences are cognate object.)

When the object and its verb have the same base word (like "dreamed" and "dream"), the object is a cognate object.

Also, I like Fullmetal Alchemist, too!
