2.2 Kinship Diagrams
Conversation Partnering #2
At looking at Isabella’s family chart I find out that in Spanish they don’t distinguish between there moms side of the family and there dads.
Abvelo (grandpa)
Abvela (grandma)
Tia (aunt)
Tio (uncle)
Prima (cousin girl)
Primo (cousin boy)
Mama (mom)
Papa (dad)
Hermana (sister)
Hermano (brother)
Where as in my family because we speak Farsi I have different names for my moms side and my dads side. This can get very complicated. Because I always refer to the one I am blood related to different then the one they married. Same with there children, I refer to them by the one I am related to them by.
Padarbozorg (grandpa)
Motherbozorg (grandma)
Amehie (aunt, dad’s sister)
Amo (uncle, dad’s brother)
Zanamoe (uncle wife, dad’s brother, if married to blood uncle)
Khalhe (aunt, mom’s sister)
Daye (uncle, mom’s brother)
Zandaye (uncle wife, mom’s brother, if married to blood uncle)
Paseramo (cousin boy, uncle’s son)

Dokhterdaye (cousin girl, uncle’s daughter)
Baba (dad)

Color Charts
2.1 Color Charts
Conversation Partnering #1
At looking at the color charts you can see where we would have some difficulties in distinguishing what we consider the same colors. Where as I have a larger range of blue, green, red, and purple, Isabella has a larger concept of white, black, and yellow. She also has pink on her chart, which I do not have. The two colors that don’t show up on either of our chart are brown and orange.

Isabella and I
Isabella and I
My partner for this project, who I shall refer to as Isabella, speaks fluent Spanish. She was born in Veracruz, Mexico and we have been friends for a long time. I chose her for this project so that I could get to know her and her language better. Since I come a Persian family and she comes from a Mexican family, I thought that she would be an intrusting partner for this project and so that I could learn her points of view on language and culture.
