After studying latin in school, its really weird and cool to see similar sounding words come up while studying Ukrainian or Russian.
Its like finding little Easter eggs as you learn new words. Makes language learning feel less like islands and more like a big connected web.
If your native language isn't English, does it have a direct cognate of the N-word? Is that word considered a slur in your language?
There is a cognate, and it is a slur
There is a cognate, it CAN be a slur but isn't always
There is a cognate, it is NOT a slur
There is a cognate, I'm not sure if it's a slur
No, there is not a cognate that I'm aware of
I'm not sure if the word I'm thinking of is a cognate of the N-word
English is my native language/show results
Cognates are words that are derived from the same root or origin. For example, English "lemon" and Spanish "limón" are cognates. The most obvious ones sound very similar or are spelled very similarly, but that's not necessarily always the case.

I feel like the concept of cognates would be more interesting if there was a sacrifice

Ghām - sweaty and sunny
Story time! I was chatting with my gf on our way to a café today, it was damn hot outside (sunkis- sunbaked bhubaneswar :)), and she remarked something about "ghaam". Naturally, my Bengali brain thought she was talking about sweat and so I teased, “Do I look that sweaty?” But she just laughed and corrected me: “No, I meant it’s so sunny!” Apparently, ghām means sunshine in Nepali?!
It got me thinking, how, in related languages, the same root word can develop alternate meanings. In Bengali, it is ঘাম (ghām) which means “sweat”, that salty reminder of how hot it is out. In Nepali, however, it is घाम (ghām) which means sunlight, or even the sun. So I researched a bit more...
Both Bengali and Nepali terms ultimately derive from the Sanskrit घर्म (gharmá), which entered Prakrit as ghamma.
Lemme summarise for the language learners:
In Bengali:
The inherited term ঘাম (ghām, /ɡʱɑːm/) means “sweat.”
In Nepali:
The inherited term घाम (ghām, /ɡʱɑːm/) denotes “sunlight” or “the sun,” reflecting a symbolic association with warmth.
Alsooo, the Persian loanword গরম (gôrom, /ɡɔrɔm/), adapted from Persian گرم (garm), is used as an adjective meaning “hot.” in Bengali. And, Nepali uses गरम (garam, /ɡərəm/), that functions similarly to Bengali gôrom and Hindi गर्म. Fun part is, both the Sanskrit घर्म (gharmá) and Persian گرم (garm) trace back to the common Proto-Indo-Iranian root gʰarmás.
Here's a Nepali song to cool down in this hot weather (বাতাস hehe):
