If you're studying the family vocabulary in Swedish, you'll quickly discover that the distinction between your maternal and paternal family lines is deeply ingrained in the Swedish language. When it comes to grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews, there are different words for each depending on whether they fall on your mother's side or your father's side (or your daughter or your brother).


Hello everybody,
"Familj" means family and "släkt" means relatives. How these words are used in Swedish can vary a little. Some people talk about family as only the people you live with, others with the relatives you are close to, and some for extended family. Swedes usually don't use the word "släkt" unless it's for more distant family members that they aren't very close to.

If you're studying the family vocabulary in Swedish, you'll quickly discover that the distinction between your maternal and paternal family lines is deeply ingrained in the Swedish language. When it comes to grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews, there are different words for each depending on whether they fall on your mother's side or your father's side (or your daughter or your brother).

"Familj" means family and "släkt" means relatives. How these words are used in Swedish can vary a little. Some people talk about family as only the people you live with, others with the relatives you are close to, and some for extended family. Swedes usually don't use the word "släkt" unless it's for more distant family members that they aren't very close to.
