A few comments: Swedish for the most part doesn't have the more general words that Danish and Norwegian (and English) have: We only use faster/moster and farbror/morbror. The word onkel (uncle) exists, but is rarely used. "Tant" (aunt) is used, but nowadays only in the meaning "old woman". :-) We don't use "beste" (grand), "olde" or "tip" (great). (There is the prefix "gamla-", but it's only used for the great grandparent generation, and its use is rather irregular and probably not very useful in a genealogy program.) "Nevö" (nephew) and "niece" exist, but are seldom, if ever, used. For cousin, Danish and Norwegian has fætter/kusine, Swedish uses "kusin" in both cases. The genitive forms are no different in Swedish than in Danish and Norwegian, apart from spelling. The nth-cousin-relations are different in Swedish, which I try to describe in the comments. Jens P. S. I looked at the link with Norwegian kinship vocabulary, very interesting! In particular, I noticed the term "dobbeltsyskenbarn" (dubbelkusin in Swedish) [double (1st) cousin; child of mother's brother/sister and father's sister/brother, children that have all four grandparents common]. To be able to find such relationships via the relationship calculator would indeed be very cool. |
