You're saying this like it's an objective fact...?
- lifeformed 3y agoCheck out the chart on Chinese relative names: https://blog.tutorabcchinese.com/chinese-learning-tips/family-tree-relatives-in-chinese https://blog.tutorabcchinese.com/chinese-learning-tips/famil... Every relation had a different name, including if they are older or younger than you, and if they are male or female.
- troupo 3y agoIt is an objective fact. As a speaker of Russian (native), Romanian and Turkish. E.g., in English a spouse's parents are just that, parents-in-law. And the spouse's brothers and sisters are brothers- and sisters-in-law. That is it. Let's take Russian. Each of the following is a separate term: - husband's mother - husband's father - wife's mother - wife's father - husband's brother - husband's sister - wife's brother - wife's sister The inverse is also true. Your daughter's husband's siblings and parents have a different term from your son's wife's. Very, very simple. These are variations on the Sudanese Kinship category, and they are both arbitrary and complex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_kinship?wprov=sfti1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_kinship?wprov=sfti1
