Sunt is cognate with German 'sind' or Dutch 'zijn' and Polish 'są' (nasal vowel for an earlier 'san'). Very Indo-European.

That's what I wanted to write, but there was no there in the word bank. Did you report this and ask for yours to be added?

Also Latin is a great base for learning many other languages as Latin is like a root language for many others!!
