Day 12

Oh Baby. Well, lots of relatives are in town now

1. My Sister - baby's Goh Moh
2. Sora's Sister - Baby's Eee-Moh
3. Sora's Big Brother - Sam Choon or Kuhn Sam Choon - meaning big uncle
4. Sora's Dad - Hah-LRah-Buh-Gee (English doesnt have all the sounds for that)
5. Sora's Older Middle Brother - Sam Choon
6. Sora's Sister in law Married to Number 5 - Soong Moh
7. Sora's Neice - Eleanor's New Cousin - Uhn Nee
8. Sora's Nephew - Eleanors New Cousin - Oh Pah.

All korean terms are in relation to eleanor.

I suspect that because most korean families were extended and at many times living in the same place... Just uncle, brother, cousin was not specific enough. Also as with many foreign languages, account for Gender.

The family tree can get quite crazy, and to the people who are classically korean, they know all the vocabulary words for each person.

Brother of sister in law married to my sister or something like that.

I am thinking of making a numbering and lettering system.
Like " YO, G4Alpha6 (Brother in law) YOU sunk my battleship!"
doesnt that seem simpler?

We went to go see my grandmother yesterday, but without the baby. She had lasik surgery done whil e they did some cataract work, so her vision is impeccable for a 94 year old. She is a great grandmother.

First Generation = Grandma
2nd = My Dad's line
3 = My line
4. Eleanors Generation.

4th generation Chon in the USA. She will marry and give up Chon, but still.
She will always be Ms. chon to me.
