[[File:family.jpg|thumb]]  
Have you ever wondered how to talk about your family members in different languages? It's a fascinating question that sheds light on the unique cultural and linguistic nuances of each language. While some languages, like English, French, and Spanish, have fairly straightforward words for family members, others, like Swedish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Tamil, have more complex and specific vocabulary.


For example, in Korean, there is a word for "father's unmarried younger brother" called "sookso". This demonstrates the importance of family relationships in Korean culture, where even distant relatives are recognized with their own specific terms.
In this lesson, you will learn some vocabulary about "Family" in different languages.


Similarly, in Chinese, family members are referred to using specific terms based on their position in the family and their gender. For instance, "bàba" means "father", while "māmā" means "mother". "Gēge" means "older brother", "dìdi" means "younger brother", "jiějiě" means "older sister", and "mèimei" means "younger sister".
Feel free to edit this page and add the vocabulary for your own language.


In Japanese, there are multiple words for "older brother" and "older sister", depending on whether they are older than the speaker or older than someone else. The word for "older brother" is "onīsan" if he is older than the speaker, and "anī" if he is older than someone else. Similarly, "oneesan" and "ane" are used for "older sister".
== The Family Vocabulary in Several Languages ==
 
===General Vocabulary===
In Tamil, a Dravidian language spoken in Southern India and Sri Lanka, there are specific words for each family member, including "appaa" for "father", "ammaa" for "mother", "thambi" for "younger brother", and "anni" for "elder brother's wife".
 
These examples illustrate how the vocabulary for family members can vary widely across languages and cultures, adding depth and richness to the way we talk about our closest relatives.
 
In this article, we have tried to be as comprehensive as possible and to list the vocabulary for family members in many languages. Our goal is to provide a glimpse into the diverse ways in which different languages and cultures conceptualize and talk about family relationships.
 
We believe that understanding how other cultures and languages talk about family can foster greater empathy, understanding, and appreciation for diverse ways of life. Family is a universal concept that unites us all, and by exploring how different languages express this concept, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities and nuances of human relationships.
