Family is a great thing. It's great if she is friendly, there are many relatives in her. And if parents, children, nephews, brothers, husband, sisters like to gather in a common family circle, this, in my opinion, is wonderful. True, in the presence of a large number of relatives and cousins, grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles and aunts, who at the same time have their own families and several children, it can be difficult to answer who belongs to whom. Let's try to understand this difficult issue, because each relative and family member has his own name.
Most likely, many already know that the husband's mother is the mother-in-law, the father is the father-in-law, and the wife's parents are the mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Maybe, for starters, some should be reminded of who a wife is? We remind you that this is a woman whose relationship is fixed in marriage. But a man in relation to the lady with whom he is married is a husband. Sisters are the next of kin. That they can be first cousins, second cousins andso on, no need to explain. Let us only note that those who have both mother and father in common are called relatives. In the event that only the mother is the common parent, such brothers or sisters are called siblings, those born from the same father are called siblings.
By the way, if a husband has a brother, then he is called a brother-in-law, a sister is called a sister-in-law.
If the wife has a sibling, he will be your brother-in-law, her sister will be your sister-in-law, and the wife's sister's husband will be your brother-in-law. But the schwager is the common name for both the husband's brother and the wife's brother.
Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law - all these words are clear to those who have tied the knot. Few people know that not only the wife of the son, but also the wife of the brother can be called the daughter-in-law, and this is also possible when the wives of two brothers address each other. Almost forgotten yatrovkas, as well as intercourse women, are also special names for the brothers' wives. But in general, a daughter-in-law is a married woman in relation to her husband's mother, his brothers, sisters-in-law, brothers' wives (yatrovs).
It is well known that a son-in-law is the daughter's husband, but if he came to live in his wife's house, he could be called and was called primak from ancient times. By the way, my sister's husband is also a son-in-law.
The closest relatives are younger - these are the children of a brother (sister) - nephews. And your brother's grandson will be your great-nephew. Children of cousins, second cousins and sisters are called first cousins and second cousins. But the husband of a cousin, most likely, can be called a cousin-in-law.
Stepdaughter and stepson are stepchildrendaughter and son in relation to one of the spouses.
It is worth remembering the godparents - they are usually called godfather and godfather. And who will be the godfather's mother? The answer is simple - a godmother, a father is a godfather, and her children are godbrothers and sisters. Not to be confused with crusading brothers. This is the name given to men who have exchanged their own pectoral crosses.
And yet, most importantly, if the question of who your sister’s husband is for you, the following will not sound: “seventh water on jelly” or “first of all, a loan guarantor”. After all, to live in friendship with relatives, close and distant, means to have a reliable stronghold and support. And this is extremely important in our difficult life.
