| Aug 1, 2017 at 2:51 | comment | added | John Lawler | English kinship terms are very sloppy from most other cultures' viewpoint. We don't distinguish father's brother from mother's brother (they're both "uncle"), nor father's brother's female children from father's mother's male children (they're both "cousin"). All siblings' spouses are siblings-in-law; your sister's husband (of any age) is your brother-in-law, and your brother's wife of any age is your sister-in-law. And it doesn't matter how old you are or how old your brother or sister is, either. Nor whether blood is involved. These aren't important and aren't remarked. | |
