Topic 4: Kazoku wa san-nin desu

In this topic, I learnt about how to talk briefly about my family and to tell someone about my family using family photo in Japanese.

The family terms I learnt are:

ちち
chichi
father

はは
haha
mother

あに
ani
big brother

あね
ane
big sister

おとうと
otooto
little brother

いもうと
imooto
little sister

I also learnt about counting people in Japanese:

ひとり
hitori

ふたり
futari

３にん
san-nin

４にん
yo-nin

５にん
go-nin

６にん
roku-nin

７にん
shichi/nana-nin

To call other people's family, it is quite different in Japan:

おとうさん
otoosan
Father

おかあさん
okaasan
Mother

おにいさん
oniisan
Big brother

おねえさん
oneesan
Big sister

おとうとさん
otootosan
Little brother

いもうとさん
imootosan
Little sister
