correct Those two questions are analogous.
wrong Those two questions are analogical. (probably wrong)
“Analogical”, on the other hand, means “related to or based on analogy”. For example,
correct Roman lawyers had already used analogical reasoning.
wrong Roman lawyers had already used analogous reasoning.
“Analogical” in the first sentence refers to analogies Roman lawyers used in their reasoning. The latter sentence would only make sense if we had spoken about another kind of reasoning before and wanted to express that Roman lawyers used reasoning analogous (similar) to the one already mentioned.
