Hi Gilberto,

all the words you listed are used in Bulgaria. The words for family relations are sometimes so complicated that even Bulgarians can mix them up. "Зет" is also used to call the husband of one's sister.

Are the words below used in Bulgarian?

Шурей, Тетка, Кака

And about the word "Зет" , I knew it meaning "son-in-law" but on your list is "brother-in-law". Is it used with both meanings?

Hi Katrina,

If you refer to your own parents, you can say: майка / татко or the more childish мама / тати. You can use the last pair if your are talking to a child:

Къде е твойта мама? Where is your mom?

Как се казва твоят тати? What's the name of your dad.

Best regards,
