Apo Sa Tuhod atbpa.

[A.Jante]

Anyone know the traditional Pilipino terms for family relationships?
For example,
grandchild <--> apo
greatgrandschild <--> apo sa tuhod
gg-grandchild <--> apo sa talampakan? (tutoo ba )
ggg-grandchild <--> apo sa kalingkingan? (talaga ito? )

How about for lolo/lola - do you just reverse it? (Lola sa tuhod?)
How about cousins. I know first cousins are pinsang buo.
What are second and third cousins?
How about siblings - what do you call a brother or sister if
you only share one parent (half-brother/half-sister)? Is it
simply kapatid sa ama or kapatid sa ina or is there a special
term?
How about the children of half-brothers or half-sisters. Are they
still pinsang-buo or something else?

Any other Pilipino relationship terms you know of?

Bilas - your spouse's sibling's spouse of the same sex.
Hipag - your spouse's sibling's spouse of the opposite sex.
Bayaw - your brother- or sister-in-law.
Kuya - your eldest brother.
Diko - your 2nd eldest brother.
Sangko - your 3rd eldest brother.
Ate - your eldest sister.
Ditse - your 2nd eldest sister.
Sanse - your 3rd eldest sister.
Balae - your kid's spouse's parents.

Correction please. Your hipag is your sister-in-law while your bayaw is
your brother-in-law. Regarding bilas, I'm still figuring it out how to
explain but I'm sure your definition is wrong.

"Bilas" are what the husbands of 2 sisters are to each other. So, the husband
of my wife's sister is my "bilas", or "magbilas kami". -Sal

In some parts of the Phils. e.g. Bulakan, special terms for brothers and
sisters are still being used.. like Kaka, Diche etc... obviously adopted
from the chinese system of addressing relatives.

I've come across a funny system (in some rural parts of Quezon) wherein
you refer to to your cousins as kuya or ate, irregardless of their age, if
your parent is younger than their parents.
It leads to some ridiculous situations wherein a teenager will call a
toddler kuya becuause the toddlers father is older than the teenagers
father. Strange but true...
