People & family

Aunts, uncles, and grandparents in Sureth

Extended-family words help make a learning session relevant to real relationships. Check the entry carefully because a dictionary gloss may not describe every distinction a family uses.

Your vocabulary set

Read each English meaning alongside the Syriac spelling and phonetic guide. Open an entry to copy the text or explore related words.

Try it in context

Choose two people you know and identify their relationship to you. Ask a fluent relative whether local usage needs a more specific term.

Make this set memorable

Choose the entry you are least confident about and write down its English meaning. Look away, try recalling its phonetic guide, and then check the original entry. Repeat with a second word from this set. Review the same words tomorrow before adding a new topic.

These are individual dictionary entries. Their forms and natural use can depend on dialect and grammar; combining them does not automatically produce a correct sentence. Ask a willing speaker about the words in this particular situation.
