Is your sister's husband for you?

A great thing is family. It's great if she's friendly, she has many relatives. And if parents, children, nephews, brothers, husband, sisters love to gather in the family circle, in my opinion, it's fine. However, if there are a large number of relatives and cousins, grandparents, uncles and aunts, who have their own families and several children, it is difficult to answer who is who to whom. Let's try to understand this difficult issue, because for each relative and family member, his own name was invented.

Most likely, many already know that her husband's mother is a mother-in-law, father is a father-in-law, and his wife's parents are a mother-in-law and father-in-law.

Or maybe, for starters, it's worth recalling who is such a wife? We remind you that this is a woman whose relationship is fixed in marriage. But the man in relation to the lady with whom he is married is a husband. Sisters are next of kin. The fact that they can be cousins, second cousins, and so on, need not be explained. Let's just note that the relatives are called those who share a common mother and father. In the event that the common parent is only the mother, such brothers or sisters are called uterine, born from one father - half-blooded.

By the way, if a husband has a brother, then he is called a brother, sister - sister-in-law.

In case the wife has a sibling, he will be your brother-in-law, her sister is sister-in-law, and the husband of the wife 's sister is a brother-in-law. But the Schwager - the common name and brother of her husband, and his wife's brother.

Snoha, daughter-in-law, son-in-law - all these words are clear to those who bound themselves by marriage. Few people know that the daughter-in-law can be called not only the wife of the son, but also the wife of the brother, and also it is possible when the wives of the two brothers address each other. Practically forgotten yatrovki, as well as deroshennitsy - these are also special names of wives of brothers. And in general, the daughter-in-law is a woman who married in relation to the mother of her husband, his brothers, sister-sisters, wives of brothers (yatrovkam).

It is common knowledge that the son-in-law is the husband of the daughter, but if he came to live in the house of his wife, he could have been called and named as a prima from ancient times. By the way, her sister's husband is also a son-in-law.

The nearest relatives are younger - these are the children of a sibling - nephews. And your brother's grandson will have to be your grand-nephew. Children of cousins, second cousins and sisters are usually called cousins and second cousins. But the cousin's husband, most likely, can be called a cousin-in-law.

The stepdaughter and stepson are the non-native daughter and son in relation to one of the spouses.

It is also worth remembering about the godparents - they are usually called kum and kum. And who will the mother of the kuma have? The answer is simple - godmother, father - godfather, and her children - godfathers and sisters. Do not be confused with the twin brothers - twin brothers. This is the name for men who exchanged their own crosses.

And still, most importantly, if the question of whether the husband of the sisters is someone for you, the following will not sound: "the seventh water on a kissel" or "first and foremost a guarantor for a loan". After all, to live in friendship with relatives, close and distant, means to have a reliable stronghold and support. And this is extremely important in our difficult life.
