💡
Cultural Note
Romanians maintain awareness of even distant relatives (rudenii îndepărtate). At large family events like weddings or funerals, it is common to meet relatives you did not know existed. The phrase 'rudă de sânge' (blood relative) distinguishes biological ties from marriage-based relationships.
