JLPT N5 - Revision - Vocabulary 1
Vocabulary Related to Family Members Revision
If you are preparing for JLPT, you need to pay more attention to those terms used in referring family members, as the usage of these words are a bit confusing to the foreign learners. When a English speaker to refer 'mother' he may say 'my mother' or 'your mother' or his 'mother', but for a Japanese speaker when want to say about his mother he will say haha and if he wants to refer his friend's mother he will say 'okaasan'. In lesson 12, the terms used for referring own family members was illustrated, and here in this lesson, I have illustrated other sets of words. Following are the terms used for referring someone's family members (not the speaker's own family members)
おかあさん = (yours/someone's) mother
おにいさん = (yours/someone's) elder brother
おねえさん = (yours/someone's) elder sister
おとうとさん = (yours/someone's) younger brother
いもうとさん = (yours/someone's) younger sister
おじいさん = (yours/someone's) grandfather
おばあさん = (yours/someone's) grandmother
おじさん = (yours/someone's) uncle
おばさん = (yours/someone's) aunt
ごしゅじん = (yours/someone's) husband
おくさん = (yours/someone's) wife
むすこさん = (yours/someone's) son
おじょうさん = (yours/someone's) daughter
Example Sentence:
おとうさんはげんきですか? = How is your father?
お子さんはお元気?= How is your child?
ごしゅじんはどう?= How is your husband?
かれのおくさんはきれいですね!= His wife is beautiful, indeed!
*Need to pay attention on the word
#おじさん = Uncle (your's / someone's)
おじいさん = Grandpa (your's / someone's)
#kodomo is the word to refer child in general, but to refer your child, ther term お子(こ)さん is used, and for own child usually used 'うちのこ'.
