congenial	adj.意氣相投的	[suited or adapted in spirit, feeling, temper, etc]
congenital	adj.天生的(ex.病等)	[of or relating to a condition that is present at birth]
		(ex. a congenital heart defect)

其實這兩個字來源有點不同唷

congenial --> con + geni[us] (n.天才，引申成才能) + al

--> 有共同才能的-->意氣相投的

congenital --> con + gen (生) + i + tal -->生下來就有的-->先天的

(加強語氣)
