Don't know what to call your Korean mother-in-law? Your Egyptian uncle? Whoolla is for the moment you freeze in front of a relative because the word doesn't exist in your language — or exists four times in theirs. Pick two countries and type a family word in either one. 고모 becomes Aunt; Aunt becomes 고모. Hear each word, learn why it is used, and see the path from you to them — you, your father, his parents, their daughter. More than sixty countries. Add the people you actually have, and every screen uses their names. No account. No tracking. Nothing leaves your phone.
