Can a neutral wire in a home electrical circuit give me an electric shock
Ideally the answer would be no. The neutral and the ground are always connected at the main panel. Hence the voltage difference between ground and neutral is only a few volts. However, if a neutral wire in a circuit is unspliced or disconnected, the neutral does get loaded and can give a person a nasty jolt.
