German & English Cognates - Nouns Only

Tools

German and English are "sister" languages with common linguistic origins. Therefore, it is understandable that they share many similarities. Cognates, words that are the same or similar in spelling and/or pronunciation across two different languages, are one such similarity.

Find and match the German and English cognates, but beware (Vorsicht) of the "false friend"! It looks like its English counterpart, but has an entirely different meaning!
