2. How many siblings do you have?
3. Is your grandmother still alive?
4. I have two sons and one daughter.
5. Do you have any cousins?


The term for uncle in Yue Chinese depends on the side of the family. Paternal uncles are referred to as "伯父" (bó fù), while maternal uncles are referred to as "舅舅" (jiù jiu).

5. 你有冇表兄弟姊妹？ (nei5 jau5 mou5 biu2 hing1 dai6 ze2 mui6?)


{| class="wikitable"
Explanation:
! Yue Chinese !! Pronunciation !! English
1. The sentence structure in Yue Chinese is similar to English. "我爸爸係醫生" translates to "My father is a doctor." The word "我" (ngo5) means "I" or "my," "爸爸" (baa1 baa1) means "father," and "係" (hai6) is used to indicate occupation or role. "醫生" (ji1 sang1) means "doctor."
|-
| 伯父 || bó fù || paternal uncle
|-
| 舅舅 || jiù jiu || maternal uncle
|}


For younger uncles, the term "叔叔" (shū shu) is used for paternal uncles, while the term "舅舅" (jiù jiu) is used for maternal uncles.
2. To ask someone how many siblings they have, you can say "你有幾個兄弟姐妹？" (nei5 jau5 gei2 go3 hing1 dai6 ze2 mui6?). "你" (nei5) means "you," "有" (jau5) means "have," "幾個" (gei2 go3) means "how many," and "兄弟姐妹" (hing1 dai6 ze2 mui6) means "siblings."


=== Aunt ===
3. To ask if someone's grandmother is still alive, you can say "你婆婆仲健在嗎？" (nei5 po4 po4 zung6 gin6 zoi6 maa1?). "仲" (zung6) is used to indicate "still," and "健在" (gin6 zoi6) means "alive."


Similar to uncles, the term for aunt in Yue Chinese also depends on the side of the family. Paternal aunts are referred to as "嬸嬸" (shěn shěn), while maternal aunts are referred to as "姨媽" (yí mā).
4. The sentence "I have two sons and one daughter" can be translated as "我有兩個兒子同埋一個女兒" (ngo5 jau5 loeng5 go3 ji4 zi2 tung4 maai4 jat1 go3 neoi5 ji4). "同埋" (tung4 maai4) means "and" or "with."


{| class="wikitable"
5. To ask if someone has any cousins, you can say "你有冇表兄弟姊妹？" (nei5 jau5 mou5 biu2 hing1 dai6 ze2 mui6?). "冇" (mou5) means "any" or "none."
! Yue Chinese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| 嬸嬸 || shěn shěn || paternal aunt
|-
| 姨媽 || yí mā || maternal aunt
|}


For younger aunts, the term "阿姨" (ā yí) is used for both paternal and maternal aunts.
Remember to practice these sentences with a native speaker to improve your pronunciation and fluency in Yue Chinese.
