Hello Latin learners,

In this lesson, you will learn how to write and pronounce the names of family members in Latin. Family relations are used frequently in the Latin language, so it is very important to know them. Family members in Latin are, as in other languages, quite specific. For example, there are different words for aunts, uncles, and cousins, depending on whether they are on the father's side or the mother's side. The table below lists the main family relationship names in Latin and their translation.
