== Cultural Insight ==
Now let’s break down these words a bit more.


In Kabyle culture, family plays a central role in people's lives. The concept of extended family is highly valued, and it is common for several generations to live together under one roof. Family members often rely on each other for support and guidance, and strong bonds are formed between siblings, cousins, and even distant relatives.
==== Mother and Father ====


In Kabyle society, respect for elders is of utmost importance. Grandparents hold a special place in the family structure and are highly respected for their wisdom and experience. They often play a significant role in raising and educating the younger generations.
* '''Mother''' (anan) is often seen as the heart of the family, nurturing and guiding.


Additionally, Kabyle culture places great importance on maintaining harmonious relationships with in-laws. When two individuals get married, the families come together and form a close bond, supporting and caring for each other. This emphasis on familial ties creates a strong sense of community and unity within Kabyle society.
