Today we are talking about hukama paChiShona – family relationships in Shona culture. We are exploring immediate family members such as Bhudhi, to relatives by blood such as Tete, and also relatives through marriage like Maiguru.
Last week we finished our discussion on 4 children in a household.
Today we are going to talk about the 4 children and their children.
Firstly what are their Shona terms for addressing their first born brother?
What are the Shona words for older brother, younger sister, younger brother and so on…
What are their expected roles within the family?
