@AlexeiSmirnov @Rere_Ivleva
кума - if a woman has a child than the child’s godmother and the woman are both кума (две кумы)
so кума is a godmother of a child for child’s parents AND mother of a godchild for godchild’s godmother )
hope it is clear ))
My girlfriend is a godmother of my son so she is my кума and I am her кума (we are две кумы)
if we are speaking about father and godfather they are both кум (два кума = кумовья, кум + кума = кумовья)
кумовья are usually the closest friends or relatives
