Today, the ancient Egyptian word weโre introducing is <family>! ๐๐
Let me introduce you to the word <uhit>, which is how itโs pronounced!
Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) is just around the corner.
Chuseok is a traditional holiday where we give thanks to the earth and sky for the yearโs abundance, and share the harvest (big or small) with our family.
For those of us living in modern times, Chuseok is a precious time when busy families can gather together.
In ancient Egypt, there were also festivals and celebrations similar to harvest festivals, where people expressed gratitude to the gods for their bountiful harvests and celebrated with their families. One famous example is the Harvest Festival of Min (Min Festival), a celebration for the god Min!
The meaning of family was just as important in ancient Egypt. A day to share meals and enjoy time with loved onesโthatโs the spirit of Chuseok, even in ancient Egypt. So, in that spirit, weโre introducing the word โfamilyโ to you today!
Take note of the determinative symbol and the plural noun sign in the word for family!
Wishing you a warm and love-filled Chuseok with your family!ย
