Family.\u00a0 I have not yet written a post about familie <\/strong>and I think knowing how to talk about the different members of a family is a good thing.\u00a0 It’s nice to know the word for all of the family members and then to be able to ask questions and reply to questions with answers with regard to familie.\u00a0 <\/strong>So let’s start with the basics.<\/p>\n

mor\/mamma <\/strong>is mother\/mom, far\/pappa <\/strong>is father\/dad, foreldre <\/strong>is parents<\/p>\n

s\u00f8ster <\/strong>is sister, bror <\/strong>is brother<\/p>\n

datter<\/strong> is daughter, s\u00f8nn<\/strong> is son<\/p>\n

tante<\/strong> is aunt, onkel<\/strong> is uncle<\/p>\n

kusine <\/strong>is cousin (female), fetter<\/strong> is cousin (male)<\/p>\n

s\u00f8skenbarn<\/strong> is cousins, tremenning<\/strong> is second cousin<\/p>\n

bestemor<\/strong> is grandmother, bestefar<\/strong> is grandfather, besteforeldre<\/strong> are grandparents<\/p>\n

and more specifically, farmor<\/strong> is father’s mother, farfar<\/strong> is father’s father, morfar<\/strong> is mother’s father, and mormor<\/strong> is mother’s mother<\/p>\n

oldemor<\/strong> is great grandmother, oldefar<\/strong> is great grandfather<\/p>\n

et barn<\/strong> is a child, et barnebarn<\/strong> is a grandchild<\/p>\n

svigermor<\/strong> is mother-in-law, svigerfar<\/strong> is father-in-law<\/p>\n

niese<\/strong> is niece, nev\u00f8<\/strong> is nephew<\/p>\n

stemor<\/strong> is stepmom, stefar<\/strong> is stepfather<\/p>\n

venn<\/strong>\u00a0is friend, vennine<\/strong> is female friend<\/p>\n

kj\u00e6reste <\/strong>is girlfriend or boyfriend<\/p>\n

kone<\/strong> is wife, mann<\/strong> is husband<\/p>\n

And if that’s not enough, let’s learn a few questions…<\/p>\n

Har du en kj\u00e6reste?<\/strong>\u00a0 Do you have a girlfriend\\boyfriend<\/p>\n

Er du forlovet?<\/strong>\u00a0 Are you engaged?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Er du gift?<\/strong>\u00a0 Are you married?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Har du slektninger i Norge?\u00a0 <\/strong>Do you have relatives in Norway?<\/p>\n

Har du familie i Norge?<\/strong>\u00a0 Do you have family in Norway?<\/p>\n

While it used to be very common for Norwegian children to have many siblings, it is now common for a Norwegian child to have one or two siblings, or perhaps none at all.\u00a0 It is also common today for couples to have children without being married first, or even without being married at all.\u00a0 When a couple lives together and is not married, this is called samboerskap.\u00a0 <\/strong>The two are samboer.\u00a0 <\/strong>This is accepted by the majority of the population and is most likely only going to become more popular.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now that you know a fair amount of Norwegian familie <\/strong>words, practice calling your mother mor, <\/strong>your father far <\/strong>and so forth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
