Spanish Family Words
Family is very
important throughout Latin America, and it is not uncommon for children
to live at home until they get married, and for the grandparents to live
there as well. You'll also find that people talk a lot about their families
- so learning these words is vital. When referring to 2 people of the
same category - for example your abuelo and
abuela, you make it plural by adding an "s"
to the masculine form - or mis abuelos = "my
grandparents." When referring to 2 people in the same category who
are both feminine, you would use the feminine plural form: tus
hermanas = "your sisters." It's interesting to
note that the word for girlfriend and fiancé - novia
- is the same in Spanish. This might be interpreted as a
sign that courtship in Latin American is taken quite seriously!
