Il vocabolario della famiglia e delle relazioni in inglese

Benvenuto in questa lezione sul vocabolario che usiamo per parlare delle persone a noi più care: la famiglia (family) e le relazioni (relationships). Imparare questi termini non è solo utile, è essenziale per qualsiasi conversazione quotidiana!

La famiglia nucleare (The Nuclear Family)

Iniziamo con il nucleo familiare più stretto, quelle persone con cui cresciamo.

ItalianoIngleseEsempio e nota utile

(Mio padre / madre è un imprenditore edile).
In contesti formali.

Fratello / SorellaBrother / SisterMy brother / sister left for London.
(Mio fratello / sorella è partito/a per Londra).
Fratelli e sorelleSiblingsMy siblings are extroverts.

Questo è un termine generico utilissimo!
Marito / MoglieHusband / WifeMy husband / wife is Dutch.
(Mio marito / moglie è olandese.)
Bambini (i tuoi figli)ChildrenShe has three children.
(Ha tre figli.)

La famiglia allargata (The Extended Family)

La famiglia non si ferma ai genitori e ai fratelli! Ecco come chiamare il resto del clan.

ItalianoIngleseEsempio

(Mia nonna / nonno ha i capelli bianchi).

Attenzione: non c’è distinzione di genere!
Nipote (figlio/a di tuo fratello/sorella)Nephew (maschio) / Niece (femmina)My sister's son is my nephew.
(Il figlio di mia sorella è mio nipote.)
My sister's daughter is my niece.
(La figlia di mia sorella è mia nipote.)

Le relazioni acquisite (In-Laws)

Quando qualcuno si sposa, non si sposa solo con una persona, ma con la sua intera famiglia! Questi legami sono chiamati in-laws.

  • Il trucco è semplice: prendi il termine base (father, mother, son, daughter) e aggiungi in-law.
ItalianoIngleseSignificato
Suocero / SuoceraFather-in-law / Mother-in-lawI genitori del tuo partner.
Cognato / CognataBrother-in-law / Sister-in-lawIl fratello / sorella del tuo partner, o il marito / moglie di tuo fratello / sorella.

Passiamo ai termini per descrivere lo stato delle relazioni.

I nomi delle relazioni

  • Fidanzato/a (partner romantico)
    • Boyfriend (maschio) / Girlfriend (femmina): Usato di solito per relazioni non coniugali.
    • Partner: Termine neutro e formale, o usato per relazioni a lungo termine / convivenza.
    • Fiancé (maschio) / Fiancée (femmina): Usato solo se si è fidanzati ufficialmente per sposarsi.
  • Convivente: Partner (comune) o flatmate / housemate (se si condivide solo l’abitazione).
