Family Members

Let's start the lesson by learning some Portuguese words for family members!

Portuguese Pronunciation English
Pai /paɪ/ Father
Mãe /maɪ/ Mother
Avô /ɐ'vo/ Grandfather
Avó /ɐ'vo/ Grandmother
Irmã /ẽ'ʁmɐ/ Sister
Irmão /iɾ'mɐ̃w̃/ Brother
Filho /'fiʎu/ Son
Filha /'fiʎɐ/ Daughter
Tio /'tiu/ Uncle
Tia /'tjɐ/ Aunt

Now it's time to learn some adjectives to describe family members' relationships:

  • Casado/Casada - Married (Used for both husband and wife);
  • Divorciado/Divorciada - Divorced (Used for both husband and wife);
  • Viúvo/Viúva - Widower/Widow.

Let's put it into practice!

Eu sou casada com o meu marido. Ele é o meu esposo. Ele é o filho da minha sogra e do meu sogro. Meu sogro é o pai do meu marido, e minha sogra é a mãe do meu marido. Eu tenho um filho e uma filha. Eu sou a mãe deles. Eles são irmãos. Meu pai e minha mãe são avós dos meus filhos. O irmão do meu pai é meu tio e a irmã da minha mãe é minha tia.

English translation:

I am married to my husband. He is my spouse. He is the son of my mother-in-law and my father-in-law. My father-in-law is my husband's father, and my mother-in-law is my husband's mother. I have a son and a daughter. I am their mother. They are siblings. My father and mother are grandparents to my children. My father's brother is my uncle and my mother's sister is my aunt.

  • Magro/Magra - Skinny
  • Gordo/Gorda - Fat
  • Novo/Nova - Young
  • Velho/Velha - Old

Using these adjectives, let's create some phrases:

  • O meu irmão é alto (My brother is tall);
  • A minha mãe é baixa (My mother is short);
  • O meu avô é velho (My grandfather is old);
  • A minha tia é bonita (My aunt is beautiful).

It's not only about physical characteristics. You can describe personality too!

Using these adjectives, let's create some phrases:

  • O meu pai é inteligente (My father is intelligent).

It's time to practice!

A minha irmã é extrovertida e engraçada. O meu irmão é chato e antipático. A minha mãe é inteligente e a minha avó é bonita. O meu avô é velho e simpático.
