Family in Japanese Explained Simply (Beginners Love This!)

Hello and welcome to yet another class with the Japanese for beginners course. It's your teacher Rosie again and I'm so excited to learn even more new things with you today. So without further ado, let's get started with our review. As always, I will repeat every word twice. Sabishi, sabishi, sabishi, kashi. Fore! Foreign! Foreign! Shinuroch. Yo, yaba yaba rocky. Rocky. What? Honto waku shore. Mur mur huh. Maji Mi Mo more. So today we will talk about family and family in Japanese is now firstly I will explain Japanese words for your family members. There will be different names for family members of your family and someone else's family. Uh because when we're talking about our family, we use particular terms. And when we're talking about someone else's family, we use different terms because we use these special words to pay more respect to someone else's family. All right, let's get started. parents. Ha ha ha. Mom dad grandfather. So, so grandmother. Anie. Anie. Older brother. An ane older sister. Ototo. Younger brother. younger sister. Oji. Oie. Oie. Uncle. Oba. Oba. Oba. Aunt. Oto. Oto. Oto. Husband. Sum. Sum. Wife. children musco musco musco son. So I know that we write but when we're speaking we say musco musme musme musme daughter. Oi. Oi. Oi. Nephew. May May niece. Mo. Grandchild.co. Cousin. Now we learned the words to describe our own family and now we will learn how to describe other people's family. So we will learn other person's family members. So how do we call other person's family in Japanese? We add an extra G to make it sound more polite before the word mother. So be careful with using these words and don't use them when you're talking about your own family. Older sister on. Older brother Younger brotherto grandfather. Oan. Grandmother. Obasan. Obasan. Obasan. Uncle Oan. So be careful. As you can see the difference between grandfather and uncle is one letter. So if we say it's uncle but if we say the G plus E, so it's prolonged like this O it will be grandfather. So be careful of these two words. Okay. Aunt obasan. Obasan. Obasan. So this is the same case as with grandfather and uncle. So when you say aunt you say obasan. When you say grandma you say. Okay. Very good. Husband. wife. So here it is written. When we say it, we say children. Sonus daughter grandchild. Now, how do we ask how many people are there in your family? In Japanese, we say, "Okay." And if we want to reply, we would say, let's say there are four people in my family. Okay? So, I would reply like this. Very good. So what we need to do here we need to say the number of how many people are in our family and add this word nin person people okay so if there are four people I say if there are five people I say six people okay and now let's say I want to name these people father, mother, youngest sister, and me. Okay? So, use the words that you learn for your own family members. Uh because there's a difference, you know, between when you're talking about your family and someone else's family. Okay. Another question that might come up when you're talking to native speakers is, "Do you have any siblings? And you can reply or so exist or doesn't exist or to be there is there isn't. Okay. And if you remember how we can use this verb sometimes we can use it in the sense that oh I have something. So I have a younger sister I have a younger brother. Okay. So in my case I would say imas I have. Or if you don't have you can say I am the only child. Very good. Now let's review what we have learned. Look. Haha. Haha. Chi chi.
