字辨

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)

 

----------------------------------------

genius  n.天才
genial  adj.愉快的、脾氣好的 [天生的性情 or al 想成all, 對全部的人都好]
   (ex. a genial host. )
