Hello to everyone. In the video, Guil mentions that there are two more values of "font-weight" property, which are lighter and bolder. And on the MDN it is written that they make the text lighter or bolder than the parent element. It is like a relative value. But to what are these values relative? What is the parent element?

<div class="parent_of_paragraph">
<p>I'm a child element!</p>
</div>

Happy coding!
