No, [my son] doesn’t speak [Domari], [my daughter-in-law] does, she speaks with me, I speak with her normally but my son shouts at her and tells her: “Don’t speak foreign, I don’t understand you, you all speak in Arabic, don’t speak like this”, because he doesn’t understand her. But me and her we speak all the time in Domari, that is, if both of us are in the house, all day long we speak in Domari. The bride of my son, she is twenty-one years old, three years older than my son, it’s not usual, we [women] have to take someone older, but she is a good person, humane and respectful. That’s why I took her for my son and my family. [My son] studied here [in the school]. After that he went for vocational training and worked for a year a year and a half as a mechanic – then he quit. And now he doesn’t do anything, he stays at home.
