Family Structure[edit | edit source]
Kurdish society is patriarchal, which means that the father or the eldest male is considered the head of the household. In Kurdish culture, extended families usually live together or very close to each other. This helps them to take care of each other during difficult times and to celebrate together in happy times. Now, let's learn some words and phrases related to Kurdish families.
Immediate Family[edit | edit source]
Your immediate family consists of individuals who are in your direct lineage. In Kurdish, we use the word "mol" to describe our immediate family members.
Here is a table of terms that you would use when referring to your immediate family:
| Central Kurdish | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| بابه‌که‌م | baba-kam | My father |
| مامه‌که‌م | mama-kam | My mother |
| برا | bira | Brother |
| خوات | xǎwǎt | Sister |
| کوڕ | kor | Son |
| کچە | kecha | Daughter |
| گوزیم | guzîm | My child |
Dialogue:
- Person 1: دا ئەو شتێکی شتێکی کێشایە بوو، ئەمڕۆ بۆ باوک تێدایەمەوە. (Da ew şteyki şteyki keşayê bû, amrô bo bawuk têdayêmeve. -- That little boy in the corner is my nephew, he is sitting with my father.)
- Person 2: بافتەرینت بابه‌که‌مان‌ە چیه؟ (Baftirînêt baba-kemanê chîye? -- What is your father's job?)
Extended Family[edit | edit source]
An extended Kurdish family comprises blood relatives, in-law relatives, and godparents of the immediate family. The Kurdish word for extended family is "fâmîlyaya pêşketî".
Here is a table of terms that you would use when referring to your extended family:
| Central Kurdish | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| خێزان | xêzan | Cousin |
| باڵا | bala | Uncle (father's brother) |
| ماما (تایبەتی) | mama (tǎybetî) | Auntie (father's sister) |
| خوێندکار | xwendekar | Student (for younger children) |
| دایی | dayi | Uncle (mother's brother) |
| خالا | xala | Auntie (mother's sister) |
| گوزینی | guzinî | Godfather/mother |
Dialogue:
- Person 1: دا خێزانم لە باڵای کچەڵتاندا بووە. (Da xêzanem lê balay kechǎl tanda bû. -- My cousin was born in my uncle's house.)
- Person 2: دایێکم دەستێتە کە کتێبخانەیا دارێ. (Daîyekem destêtê ke katebkhaneyêya darî. -- My mother's brother is a teacher at the university.)
Marriage and Relationship[edit | edit source]
In Kurdish culture, the institution of marriage is highly valued. Family members pay close attention to the partner their son or daughter chooses to marry. The Kurdish word for marriage is "zin". Here are some words and phrases you should know:
| Central Kurdish | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| ناوێژ | nawuij | Engagement |
| خاتون | xǎton | Mrs/Wife |
| بەڕێز | berêz | Married |
| بەڕێز بێ | berêz bê | Unmarried |
| ئاو | aw | Husband |
| چاوەڕێ | chawre | Bride |
| جووسراو | juwseraw | Newlyweds |
| بڵاوکۆک | blawkok | Divorced |
Dialogue:
- Person 1: دەچوێت ناوێژ بدەی واسم؟ هەر لە شەک پارتەکە وا دەکەین. (Dechewêt nawuij bedêy wasê? Her le shak parteka wê dekein. -- Would you like to get engaged to me? They say we are a good match.)
- Person 2: چاوەڕێی من بە دۆزینەوە بوو. (Chawreya min be dozînewa bû. -- My bride was dressed in a white dress.)
