English word for Tamil Word "Thodu sugam"

I tried to figure out the equivalent word for tamil word "Thodu sugam" in english. After lot of googling and searching i couldn't find any equivalent word . So I asked my colleagues if they know what is the equivalent word for "Thodu sugam" in english.
One of my colleague who is in late 40's told me that "Tamil language is a good language for each and every feelings and relationship they have separate words not like english where u'r chittapa also uncle, periyappa also uncle and uncle also uncle".So he said "intha tamil vaarthaiku nee english vaarthai kandu pudicha mathiri thannu".
Eventhough he told it as a joke, the truth in that statement is not a joke. This reasserts that tamil is one of the language rich in words. summava sonnanga "kal thondri man thondra kaalathe mun thondriya tamizhnu"
