relatives terms 親屬的稱謂


semantic nuance

Recommended Posts

Hi,

For Chinese, we have each single word for the relatives, such as 姑媽 (father's sister), 姨媽(mother's sister), 舅公(mother's uncle from mother's side), 叔公(father's uncle from father's side),etc. I was wondering if there's a single term for each relative in English? Anyone?

中國人的親屬都各自有一個稱謂, 像是姑媽, 姨媽, 舅公, 叔公, 等等. 我在想英文裡是不是每一個親屬也都有各有一個稱謂? 有沒有人知道?

:)
