Die Familie (the family)
On the previous page, Kai and Daniela were talking about their families. You might have recognized certain
words related to family members by similarity to their English counterparts. Here, we want to introduce
those words that are useful, if you want to talk about your family.
Note that for those words describing members of the family, the natural gender is the same as
the grammatical gender (feminine = die; masculine = der). This makes things a little easier, when you
talk about family.
Here are some more words related to families:
| German | English | | German | English |
 | die Eltern | the parents | | der Mann | the husband |
| die Frau | the wife | | die Oma | the granny |
| der Opa | the grandpa | | die Cousine | the cousin (fem.) |
| der Cousin | the cousin (masc.) |
To talk about someone, who you are dating, use "der Freund" (boyfriend) or "die Freundin" (girlfriend).
