In todayтАЩs video, we covered:
- Common family member names in French
- Comparison between Nepali and French family terms

LetтАЩs take a quick look at what we learned:

Here are some key terms:
| рдмреБрдмрд╛ | Father | p├иre (рдкреЗрд░) |
| рдЖрдорд╛ | Mother | m├иre (рдореЗрд░) |
| рдЫреЛрд░рд╛ | Son | fils (рдлрд┐рд▓реНрд╕) |
| рдЫреЛрд░реА | Daughter | fille (рдлрд┐рд▓реЗ) |
| рджрд┐рджреА / рджрд╛рдЬреБ | Sister / Brother | s┼Уur (рд╕реЛрд░), fr├иre (рдлреНрд░реЗрд░) |
| рджрд╛рдЗ / рдЦреБрд╡рд╛ | Uncle | oncle (рдУрдЩреНрдХрд▓) |
| рдЖрдЗ / рдЦреБрдЗ | Auntie | tante (рдЯрд╛рдиреНрдЯреЗ) |
| рдЬреЗрдареЛ / рдЬреЗрдард╛рдиреА | Elder brother / sister | a├оn├й (рдПрдиреЗ) |
| рдЫреЛрдЯреЛ / рдЫреЛрдЯреА | Younger sibling | cadet (рдХрд╛рджреЗрдд) |
ЁЯТб One important thing we discussed is that French doesnтАЩt have as many specific terms as Nepali does тАФ like “mama”, “jetho”, “dai”, etc. In French, most uncles or aunts are just called oncle or tante , regardless of whether theyтАЩre from momтАЩs or dadтАЩs side.
ЁЯПа Types of Families in French Culture | рдлреНрд░реЗрдВрдЪ рд╕рдВрд╕реНрдХреГрддрд┐рдорд╛ рдкрд░рд┐рд╡рд╛рд░рдХрд╛ рдкреНрд░рдХрд╛рд░рд╣рд░реВ
We also looked at different family structures common in French-speaking countries:
- Single-parent family тАУ famille monoparentale (рдлрд╛рдорд┐рд▓реЗ рдореЛрдиреЛрдкреЗрд░реЗрдВрдЯрд▓реЗ): One parent raising the children.
- Nuclear family тАУ famille nucl├йaire (рдлрд╛рдорд┐рд▓реЗ рдиреНрдпреБрдХреНрд▓рд┐рдПрдпрд░): Parents + kids living together.
- Blended family тАУ famille recompos├йe (рдлрд╛рдорд┐рд▓реЗ рд░реЗрдХрдореНрдкреЛрдЬрд╝реЗ): When parents remarry and combine families.
ЁЯУМ Blended families are quite common in France , but not so much in Nepal тАФ which made it an interesting cultural comparison!
ThatтАЩs it for Day 4 ! Now you can talk about your family in French and even compare it with how things work back home. ЁЯШК
