Vocabulary for family members is a fundamental aspect of the Swedish language. A family, or ‘familj’, is the cornerstone of society. Family members, or ‘familjemedlemmar’, often have genetic connections and typically share a common family name, or ‘efternamn’. It is common for family members to reside together. An extended family, or ‘släkt’, includes grandparents, or ‘mor/farföräldrar’, uncles, or ‘farbröder/morbröder’, aunts, or ‘fastrar/mostrar’, cousins, or ‘kusiner’, and so on.
