Скачать или смотреть What We Call Our Grandparents—and Why It Matters | A Norwegian-Swedish Family Story (Part 1)

Grandma and Grandpa—Norwegian and Swedish style.

In this first part, Freja shares the story of her grandparents and the beautiful language used to name them: farmor, farfar, bestemor, bestefar. A few words that carry generations of history, culture, and affection.

What begins as a small language lesson becomes something deeper—a reflection on immigration, identity, and the quiet ways family history stays alive through the words we use.

At Making Neighborhood, we believe connection is built through stories like these—the ones passed down at kitchen tables, wrapped in memory, meaning, and love.

This is Part 1 of a two-part story about grandparents, heritage, and family roots.
