Field notes
Visitors can ask in plain language—examples include “my mom’s older brother’s wife”—or assemble a relationship one relative at a time, then see the corresponding term, characters, Jyutping, and audio. A tappable family map provides another route through the same relationships. The sample identifies 舅母 (kau5 mou5) for a mother’s brother’s wife, while the page labels its coverage as Hong Kong Cantonese.
