Macedonian is interesting to me in the regard that there's seperate words for uncles and aunts depending on which side of the parents they're on for you. i wonder how the need for them arose?
actually, there's three i can think of for Uncle: Вујче/Тето/Чичо.
Because when you go a generation further, there's only one words for Grandma (Баба, 'Baba') and only one word for Grandpa (Дедо, 'Dedo'), and you also call your great uncles and aunts and random old people on the street etc. Баба/Дедо.

If I find capacity to research if there's similarities to other close languages like Serbian or Bulgarian with regards to the aunt/uncle system, this too could become a blog post. xD

@scy oh wow, as a (supposed) German native speaker i didn't know that! I've heard the word 'Oheim' before, and I assumed 'Vetter' was Austrian, but that's so interesting to hear!
is there a special reason you might know of as to why they're not used anymore/they faded from common speech?

@scy i also wanna point out that strangely, Macedonian does not have a cousin gender/side of family distinction. one acts like everyone is siblings and then calls honorifics dependent on the age relationship, Даде/Бато for older sister/brother, and [name] for the younger sibling/cousin etc.. It's close to the Korean system except there's no honorifics for the younger part and it isn't dependent on the younger speaker's gender.

@scy being nonbinary in Macedonian sucks for this very reason: literally every interaction needs to be gendered somehow, and i only know of two options.
