* It is important to note that in Vietnamese, the words for older sister and younger sister, as well as older brother and younger brother are different. "Chị" refers to an older sister while "Em gái" is used for a younger sister. Similarly, "Anh" refers to an older brother and "Em trai" is used for a younger brother.
=== Siblings ===
 
* The word "con" does not specify the gender of the child. The gender can be specified by adding the words "trai" for son and "gái" for daughter after "con".
== Extended Family Members ==


In Vietnamese culture, extended family members are also referred to using specific words. Here are some of the most common words for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins:
The word for "older brother" in Vietnamese is "anh trai", while "older sister" is "chị gái". If you have a younger brother, you would call him "em trai", and a younger sister would be "em gái". These words can be used to refer to your own siblings or to address someone else's siblings.

* The word "cô dâu" and "chú rể" are used to describe the bride and groom on their wedding day. However, many Vietnamese people continue to use these words when referring to people who are already married.
=== Cousins ===


Learning vocabulary about family members and in-laws is important if you plan on communicating with Vietnamese people. It is also a great way to learn more about Vietnamese culture and values.
To refer to your cousins in Vietnamese, you can use the word "anh em họ" for male cousins and "chị em họ" for female cousins. These words are used to describe both older and younger cousins.
