Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

Indian families are known for their strong bonds and close-knit relationships. In different regions of India, there may be variations in the usage and understanding of family relationships. For example, in some parts of India, the term "भाई" (bhāī) can be used to address not only one's own brother but also male friends or acquaintances. Similarly, the term "बहन" (bahan) can be used to refer to not only one's own sister but also female friends or acquaintances.

Historically, the joint family system was prevalent in India, where several generations lived together under one roof. However, with modernization and urbanization, nuclear families have become more common. Nevertheless, Indian families still maintain strong ties with their extended family members and often come together for festivals, weddings, and other celebrations.

-Here are a few things to keep in mind:
+=== Other Family Relationships ===
-* In Hindi, maternal and paternal grandparents are distinguished from one another. "Dada" and "Daadi" refer to the paternal grandparents, while "Nana" and "Naani" refer to the maternal grandparents.
-* The word "beta" and "beti" are used strictly to refer to one's biological son and daughter.
-* Lastly, it is important to remember that in Hindi, all nouns are gendered. Hence, the words used to refer to male family members differ from the ones used to refer to female family members.
-==Extended Family Members==
-In Indian culture, the concept of family extends beyond the immediate family members. Extended family members like aunts, uncles, cousins, and in-laws are valued and hold significant importance. Here are some common family members that belong to the extended family category:

Always pay attention to context and use the correct term accordingly.
