Names
English names are names used in, or originating in, England. In England as elsewhere in
the English-speaking world, a complete name usually consists of a given name, commonly
referred to as a first name, and a (most commonly patrilineal) family name or surname,
also referred to as a last name. There can be several given names, some of these being often
referred to as a second name, or middle name(s).
use = használni (júz)
complete name = teljes név = full name (kömplít néjm) (ful néjm)
consists of = áll valamiből (könzisztsz ov)
refer to = utalnak valamire (rifőr tu)
commonly = gyakran (kamönli)
patrilineal = apai (petriliniöl)
often = gyakran (ofön)
usually = rendszerint (júzsuöli)

Az angol gondolkodás szerint:


keresztnév = given name (adott név), first name (első név)
utónév = last name (utolsó név), family name (családnév), surname = családnév
középső név = második keresztnév = second name (szekönd néjm) = middle name (midöl
néjm = középső név)
(givön néjm, főrszt néjm, lászt néjm, femöli néjm, szőrnéjm)

10 Reasons Why Family Is Important

Everyone is born into a family, but not everyone gets a healthy one. For those who aren’t privileged to have
a good birth family, they often create a chosen family later on. Why is family important? What kind of
impact does it have on a person in their childhood and as an adult? Does it matter to society as a whole?
Here are ten reasons why family is important:

#1. Families set the stage for future relationships

The very first relationships a child has is with their parents and any siblings. Whether healthy or not, these
relationships provide a model for what future relationships will look like. It’s often not a conscious
decision, but for better or worse, people often choose partners and friends based on how similar they are to
their family. Family dynamics repeat themselves and reinforce beliefs about relationships and self.

#2. During challenging times, people need a family they can rely on

When life gets hard, people need support. This can be emotional and/or financial support. Someone going
through rough times will turn to their family if they trust them to provide encouragement and love. Feeling
accepted and understood during a personal crisis is a basic need for people. Families – whether traditional or
chosen – can provide that.

#3. Families can be an essential source of affection and encouragement

In good or bad times, families can provide the affection and encouragement a person needs to be content. It
can be difficult to find friends or purpose in adulthood. If a person has a strong family, they’ll always be
able to find the love and support they need. With their family behind them, a person will find
the motivation and courage for success. On the other side, if a person isn’t getting love and support from a
family structure, they’ll feel lonely, depressed, and even hopeless.

#4. Families foster a sense of belonging to something greater than oneself

Families are hubs of tradition. Many families carry on traditions through the years by sharing stories from
the past. This creates connections with family members that aren’t around anymore. A person who grows up
in this type of family feels like they belong to something bigger than themselves. They’ll pride in being a
member of a community that’s gone through hardships and triumphs.

#5. People raised in close families develop healthier relationships throughout their lives

Research supports that people from close-knit families go on to enjoy close relationships later in
life. Psychological Science published a long-running study in 2016 that looked at men’s relationships.
Researchers learned that men who grew up in nurturing families developed stronger relationships than men
who didn’t have accepting families. They managed their emotions well and maintained a closer connection
with their partners.

#6. Family relationships are linked to a person’s mental health

There have been many studies on the importance of family time, specifically dinner time. While families can
still be healthy even if they don’t eat dinner together every night, there is a correlation between this time
together and a young person’s wellbeing. In Pediatrics, one study discovered that kids who ate with their
families regularly were less likely to show depression symptoms. On the other side of the spectrum, research
shows that negative family relationships can trigger or worsen mental health issues.
#7. Quality time with family is linked to better academic performance

The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University conducted a series of
studies on family dinner time. One study showed that kids who eat dinner with their family less than three
times were twice as likely to get Cs or below in school. On the other hand, kids who had family dinners 5-7
times a week did much better. Of course, there are other factors at play, but families that value dinners
together likely value other positive family interactions.

#8. Families teach important life lessons

Families are the first place where children learn how to manage their emotions, interact with others, and
communicate. It’s also the first setting where kids learn about consequences, either positive or negative.
Parents are responsible for guiding their children, providing life lessons that will be remembered for years to
come. These lessons form a big part of a person’s worldview and how they believe the world works.

#9. Families teach values

Along with life lessons, people learn a value system within their family structure. They learn what their
family defines as right or wrong, as well as what’s important to the community. These values become
ingrained and form a foundational part of a person’s identity. Values affect how a person treats others, how
they view themselves, and what they see as their purpose in life.

#10. Healthy families form the backbone of a healthy society

When families are strong, communities are strong. That naturally leads to a strong society. The definition of
a “healthy” or “good” is often the subject of heated debate. Countless studies have explored the impacts of
adoption, LGBTQ+ relationships, families with multiple ethnicities, and so on. Why? Society is deeply
invested in the strength of families because there’s a domino effect. If families aren’t doing well, a nation
will suffer. If families are happy and healthy, the nation benefits.

nutrients.
Full-fat dairy seems to be the most nutritious option, and studies show that people who eat
the most full-fat dairy have a lower risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
If the dairy comes from grass-fed cows, it may be even more nutritious because it’s higher in
some bioactive fatty acids such as conjugated linoleic acid and vitamin K2.
42. Cheese (csíz) sajt
Cheese is incredibly nutritious — a single slice may offer about the same amount of nutrients
as an entire cup (240 ml) of milk. Many people also consider it one of the most delicious
foods.

Whole milk is very high in vitamins, minerals, quality animal protein, and healthy fats.
What’s more, it’s one of the best dietary sources of calcium.
44. Yogurt (jogőt) joghurt

of the same health effects as milk, but yogurt with live cultures has the added benefit of
friendly probiotic bacteria.

monounsaturated fats and is very high in antioxidants that have powerful health benefits.
46. Coconut oil (köukönát ojl) kókuszolaj
Coconut oil is a saturated fat, but it contains MCTs and may have similar health effects to
olive oil.
However, coconut oil has been shown to increase LDL (bad) cholesterol to a greater degree
than other plant-based liquid oils, so it should be used in moderation.
47–48: Tubers (tyúbörz) gumósok
Tubers are the storage organs of some plants. They tend to contain a number of beneficial
nutrients.
47. Potatoes (pötéjtouz) krumplik
Potatoes are loaded with potassium and contain a little bit of almost every nutrient you need,
including vitamin C.
They’ll also keep you full for long periods. One study analysed 38 foods and found that
boiled potatoes were by far the most filling.
48. Sweet potatoes (szwít pötéjtouz) édesburgonyák
Sweet potatoes are among the most delicious starchy foods you can eat. They’re loaded with
antioxidants, beta carotene, vitamin A, and all sorts of other healthy nutrients.
49. Apple cider vinegar (epölszájdör vinigör) almaecet
Apple cider vinegar may help regulate post meal blood sugar levels when consumed with a
meal, though more evidence is needed on its effectiveness.
It’s great to use as a salad dressing or to add flavour to meals.

Dark chocolate is loaded with magnesium and is one of the most powerful sources of
antioxidants.
