It's interesting to note that in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic, the word "child" has the same form for both genders: "wnāyā". Also, the word for "family" or "household" is "bētā", which follows the same root as the Hebrew word "beit" (בית) meaning "house".

Let's have a dialogue with these basic family members:
 
* Person 1: ܡܚܝܡܐ (mḥymmā) (brother)
* Person 2: ܐܠܦ (elp) (older) ܕܠܬܐ (dltā) (sister) means "older sister"
* Person 1: ܥܢܣܬܝܐ (ʿnstyā) (cousin)
* Person 2: ܐܢܐ (anā) (I) ܡܚܝܡܐ (mḥymmā) (brother) ܨܘܪܦܘܬܐ (ṣwrptā) (The wedding ceremony) means "My brother's wedding ceremony"

It's interesting to note that there are two words for "aunt" in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic, depending on whether she is your father's sister or your mother's sister.
Let's have a dialogue to see these family members in context:
* Person 1: ܛܘܒܥܐ (ṭūbʿā) (mother's sister)
* Person 2: ܐܝܬ (ayt) (my) ܛܘܒܥܐ (ṭūbʿā) (mother's sister) ܟܠܗܘܢ (kullhu^n) (all) means "My mother's sister and all the family"
* Person 1: ܕܘܠܬܗ (doltāh) (his daughter)
* Person 2: ܟܢܫܢܐ (knšnā) (our) ܡܢ (mn) (to) ܡܪܘܢܐ (mrwnā) (lord) ܒܗ (bh) (in) ܐܝܬ (ayt) (my) ܛܘܒܥܐ (ṭūbʿā) (mother's sister) means "Our Lord, bless his daughter with my mother's sister."
== Interesting facts ==
Did you know that in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic culture, the head of the family is usually the oldest male? He is responsible for making important decisions and taking care of the family's well-being. However, women also have a crucial role, especially in maintaining the household and passing on cultural traditions.
