Yes. A lot of words look and/or sound very simular in Dutch and German.
That's why I like "Meer and See". The difference between those is striking. They're completely the other way around to put it like that.

English-German-Dutch
sea = Meer = zee
lake = See = meer

And you know me... I like a "kleine Anpassung" here and there sometimes.
