parents, one child and often a
- grandmother or grandfather or even both. While urban families are more likely to have just one
- child, it is not unusual to see large families in the rural areas. In the cities as well as in
- the country, parents will often live with their adult, married children and help raise the
- grandchildren. This extended family provides a certain degree of stability and security to the
- children and alleviates the necessity of arranging for day-care outside the home. The economic
- situation in Russia and the Former Soviet Union dictates today (and has historically) that
- both parents work to support the family. However, some things have changed and are continuing
- to change; you can now find mothers who do not work outside the home, though the concept of a
- "house-husband" is still foreign to Russians.</p><p>The use of words which indicate relationships between family members is somewhat fluid.
- Children will often refer to adults (their parents' acquaintances and strangers alike) as
- <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">тётя</em></span> Aunt or <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">дядя</em></span> Uncle. You may also hear people refer to elderly individuals, with
- whom they are not acquainted, as <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">бабушка</em></span> Grandma
- or <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">дедушка</em></span> Grandpa. The form of address will
- always be <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Вы</em></span> in these cases. Though there are
- terms for cousins: <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">двоюродный 6paт</em></span> (for males)
- and <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">двоюродная сестра</em></span> (for females), Russians
- will often simply use <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">брат</em></span> or <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">сестра</em></span>.</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch03s12.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch04s02.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Useful words and expressions </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Setting the scene</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
