87. Nota Cultural: When many Spanish speakers talk about la familia, they are
referring to not only their immediate family, but also their grandparents, aunts and
uncles, and cousins. The members of the extended family often get together on a
regular basis for meals, or to go on outings. It is also common for grandparents or
elderly relatives to live with younger family members. Throughout the Spanishspeaking world, elderly members of the family hold a place of honor and respect.
88. Nota Cultural: In Texas, many Mexican-American extended families get together
often. Abuelitos and abuelitas often live with their children and grandchildren. When
many people speak of their familia, they have in mind their tios, tias, primos, and
primas as well as their immediate family. A first cousin has almost the same status in
the family as a sibling. How does this compare to other families you know?
