Father's Day is fast approaching, it'll be here  next month. So I think it's a good idea to learn  
2
8480
6960
00:15
some vocabulary about fathers and about  Father's Day. Our first word here is paternity,  
3
15440
7280
00:23
paternity, and paternity is a noun that means the  state of being a father. If you are a father, then  
4
23840
10880
00:35
you are in paternity. Let's see it in a sentence.  So for example: paternity can be a very rewarding  
5
35280
10960
00:46
experience. Some countries give paternity  leave to new fathers and paternity was a noun.
6
46240
10880
00:57
It also has an adjective form, and this word  is paternal, paternal. And paternal means  
7
57120
10240
01:08
like a father, or similar to a father,  or to be of your father's family.
8
68160
7120
01:16
So, let's see this in a sentence,  for example, he is not my father,  
9
76160
6160
01:22
but he has many paternal qualities. Meaning  he has qualities similar to a father. Or:  
10
82320
9680
01:32
my paternal grandfather is 85 years  old. This means my grandfather on  
11
92960
8400
01:41
my father's side of the family. And our  next word here is patriarch, patriarch.  
12
101360
7680
01:50
Patriarch, is a noun that means the male leader  of the family and, it's very similar to another  
13
110400
9120
01:59
word in English called matriarch, which just  means the female leader of the family. Okay,  
14
119520
9120
02:08
so let's look at patriarch in a sentence.  For example, the patriarch of my family  
15
128640
6880
02:16
is my father, or in some societies it is bad  to disobey the patriarch. Our next word, is  
16
136240
10960
02:27
father figure. Okay and of course, you can see  this is actually two words, but we treat it like  
17
147200
8000
02:35
one word. Okay, and father figure is a noun which  means, an older man who you treat like a father,  
18
155200
8880
02:45
especially by asking for his advice, help, or  support. So, let's look at it in a sentence  
19
165120
8240
02:54
for example, he's not my father, but he is a  father figure in my life. Or, it's important to be  
20
174000
11760
03:05
a good father figure. And for our final word or  vocabulary word is a verb phrase, and this verb  
21
185760
7760
03:13
phrase is spend time with. Okay and "with" is in  parentheses, actually because we don't say "with"  
22
193520
9680
03:23
always, but it's there sometimes. Spend time means  to use time doing something or being somewhere.  
23
203920
11200
03:36
Let's look at it in a sentence, for  example: I like to spend time with my dad  
24
216720
7040
03:43
on Father's Day. Or: me and my dad spent  time playing soccer today. Alright everyone,
