- дээж - aunt (mother's sister)
- өрөө - nephew/niece
- цагаан хүү - grandson
- цагаан ах - granddaughter
It is important to note that these terms may vary among different Mongolian tribes.

Here are some common relationship status terms in Halh Mongolian:
| Halh Mongolian | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| гэнэт хүн | genet khun | single |

| гэнэт аав | genet aav | single man |
| хамт амьдрал | khamt amr̥dal | dating |
