🗣️👉 Did you know that across different cultures and languages, there isn’t just one word for a parental sister and brother? It’s fascinating! Instead, unique words are used to describe different kinds of aunts and uncles, depending on whether they are from your mother’s side or your father’s side. 🌎💬 For instance, in Polish, the word for your maternal uncle is ‘wuj,’ while your paternal uncle is called ‘stryj.’ Meanwhile, in Sweden, your mother’s sister is called ‘moster,’ and your father’s sister is called ‘faster.’
🥳🎊 Today, we invite you to join us in celebrating all those amazing aunts and uncles out there. Let’s raise a toast to the cool aunt who has been your secret keeper and cheerleader, and to the fun uncle with an infinite stock of dad jokes that never fail to crack you up. They are truly special, and they deserve all the appreciation we can shower upon them! 🤗💕
