What is the name of the cousin's son, and what is the name of the aunt's daughter-in-law......
It's the day of visiting relatives and friends again during the Spring Festival. Some netizens couldn't help but complain, the most difficult thing about the New Year is: when you go to a relative's house to pay New Year's greetings, everyone looks at you quietly, but you don't know how to call someone.
Looking at the second aunt, third aunt, fourth uncle, and fifth aunt in the house, have you started to have a headache?
Internet.
Listen to what friends who can understand these complex relationships have to say.
Zhihu answered the main @zhudaniel:
1. Grandma's parents are her father's grandparents, and they are her grandfather's grandmother, and they are called grandfathers and grandmothers in the Central Plains.
2. Grandma's siblings and their spouses. It is his father's uncle and aunt, and he is called by his father: uncle, grandfather, and grandmother; Grandpa and grandma in the Central Plains. Father's aunt and uncle, they call themselves aunts and aunts.
3. Grandparents' siblings and their spouses. It is his mother's aunt and uncle, aunt and uncle, called uncle and grandfather, aunt and grandma, aunt and grandpa.
Fourth, grandpa's mother. It is his mother's grandmother, his grandmother's mother-in-law, called Grandma, and the Central Plains is called Grandma.
Fifth, the cousin title of one's parents is simple: paternal brothers are all cousins, cousins, cousins, and aunts, and paternal sisters are all cousins and cousins. Matrilineal brothers are all cousins and cousins, and matrilineal sisters are all cousins and cousins.
Guo Shijun wanted to say that he still understood a little, but after reading it, he seemed to be even more confused......
There are also those classified according to the relatives on both sides of the parents, which seem to have a clearer idea.
Zhihu answered@only do the big devil:
1. Patrilineal
The men of the father's generation are uncles, their daughters-in-law are uncles and aunts, and women are aunts;
The men of the same generation as the grandfather are the grandfather, their daughter-in-law is the grandmother, and the women are called the aunt;
With his own generation, the same surname is Tang, and different surnames are tables.
Second, matrilineal
The men of the same generation as their mothers are all uncles, their daughters-in-law are aunts (some places are called concubines), and women are aunts;
With grandma and grandpa, the men are grandparents, their daughters-in-law are grandma, and women are also grandma;
It's a watch with my own generation.
See that still won't? Don't panic! There are also three tips to help you face your relatives calmly.
Zhihu answerer @ Jiwang Culture:
Tip 1:If the family is larger, it is best to be cautious about acknowledging relatives. Older families mean that relationships of the same age but different generations are likely. It's easy to call people casually when you look at your approximate age: I thought it was a sister, but it turned out to be your aunt and grandmother.
Tip 2:Peers and juniors can be called that. If peers can't figure out cousins, and juniors can't figure out whose child should shout, they can directly refer to brother, sister, brother, and sister according to their age; For unfamiliar juniors, ask for their names in advance and call them by name.
Tip three:Husband and wife's relatives call each other. Although the relatives of the spouse also have professional names, it is safer to call people directly with the other party's name if they can't figure it out.
The country is the king teaches you a trick to win: follow your parents closely when you go to relatives, and meet relatives you don't know and wait for your parents to introduce ......
Zhihu answerer @ a coquettish cat:
When I usually go out with my mother, I meet someone I don't know how to call him, and my mother tells me who this is and what you should call him. Then add a sentence, "I usually don't see it, and I don't dare to admit it" to resolve the embarrassment.
In fact, there is no unified standard for how to call relatives, and the names of various places are also varied, and there are certain differences between the north and the south, so it is still necessary to follow the local customs.
Therefore, after reading this Spring Festival guide, it must be no problem to visit relatives during the Spring Festival!
