Terms used to express family relations in Arabic are more explicit than in English. This may reflect the importance of family and relations in the Arabic society. An example of the more explicit family relations terms in Arabic is that the term \u2018uncle\u2019 in English has 2 Arabic terms distinguishing \u2018maternal uncle\u2019 (<\/span>\u062e\u0627\u0644<\/span>) and \u2018paternal uncle\u201d (<\/span>\u0639\u0645<\/span>). Interestingly, the word \u2018cousin\u2019 in English has 8 equivalent terms in Arabic, distinguishing the gender of both the cousin and the uncle and the family link maternal or paternal. The Arabic equivalents of \u2018cousin\u2019 are (<\/span>\u0627\u0628\u0646 \u0639\u0645 \/ \u0628\u0646\u062a \u0639\u0645<\/span> \/ <\/span>\u0627\u0628\u0646 \u062e\u0627\u0644 \/ \u0628\u0646\u062a \u062e\u0627\u0644<\/span> \/ <\/span>\u0627\u0628\u0646 \u0639\u0645\u0629 \/ \u0628\u0646\u062a \u0639\u0645\u0629<\/span> \/ <\/span>\u0627\u0628\u0646 \u062e\u0627\u0644\u0629 \/ \u0628\u0646\u062a \u062e\u0627\u0644\u0629<\/span>). <\/span><\/p>\n
