In learning Nepali, I'm stumbling across a lot of words that look quite similar, but are completely unrelated anyway. It's a source of some confusion, I must admit. Just makes no sense. It's also a bit funny though, in some language geek-kind-a way... But I got this idea, if I list these similar looking words together, they might be easier to remember and it will help in learning new vocabulary. Because, there's no way around it, you need to memorize words one way or the other if you are learning a language... So here is the first little set of similar looking Nepali words (and their translations):
