Cognate nouns in closely related languages are likely to have the same gender, because they tend to inherit the gender of the original word in the parent language. For instance, in the Romance languages, the words for "sun" are masculine, being derived from the Latin masculine noun "sol", whereas the words for "moon" are feminine, being derived from the Latin feminine "luna". (This contrasts with the genders found in German, where "Sonne" "sun" is feminine, and "Mond" "moon" is masculine, as well as in other Germanic languages.) However, there are exceptions to this principle. For instance, "latte" ("milk") is masculine in Italian (as is French "lait" and Portuguese "leite"), whereas Spanish "leche" is feminine and Romanian "lapte" is neuter. Likewise, the word for "boat" is neuter in German ("das Boot"), but common gender in Swedish ("en båt").
