Language/Multiple-languages/Vocabulary/Family-in-many-languages
How do we talk about family members in different languages? It's an interesting question.
For many languages like English, French, Spanish ..., it's rather simple. However, for other languages like Swedish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Tamil... words can be really specific and complicated.
For example, in Korean, there is a word for "father's unmarried younger brother", can you believe it?
