There are a few ways in which us hobgoblins classify our family members. My mother is called mother, my father is called father, my mother's sisters and brothers are called aunts, and my father's sisters and brothers are called uncles. My cousins and siblings are both siblings, and my close friends are brothers or sisters. These terms can be used more than once when I refer to someone. For example, my mother's sister is also my close friend, so she is my aunt and my sister. The Nature Gods are classified based on the different elements that we believe in: Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. We simply call them that as well.
Different parts of the village are classified in different ways. The leader's hut is always in the center of the village, and it is called the House of the Leader. The trail leading to the House of the Leader (also the biggest trail in the village) is referred to as the Main Trail. Huts surrounding the House of the Leader are called the Outer Huts, and the individual, smaller trails that lead to them are called the Outer Trails. There are also three different parts of a hut that we classify as the living space, the cooking space, and the sleeping space. The living space is a place to socialize or discuss certain matters of importance, the cooking space is used for cooking and preparing meals, and the sleeping space is used for sleeping at night and resting in the afternoons (or for when one of us is ill).
When talking about the weather, there are only two ways in which we classify it: Bad Weather or Good Weather. Bad Weather includes thunderstorms, heavy rain, high winds, thick cloud cover, extreme heat or cold, or dense fog. Good Weather refers to bright sunshine, clear blue skies, moderate temperatures (not too cold or too hot), light breeze, or light rains in the spring. Discussing the weather with another hobgoblin is when we discuss it in detail. Otherwise, it is just referred to as Good or Bad when we talk about it in general.
