Familj

I am glad to learn that Swedish can tell father's brother from mother's brother.

btw, I read a book on the food of China. The author even explained why Chinese like eating pork and chicken! Perhaps some anthropologist has tried to explain why there is no difference between father's father and mother's father in ENGLISH!
