FAMILY AND FRIENDS | 家族と友だち
Different versions of words for family members are used depending on whether you are talking about your own family members (in-group) or someone else’s (out-group). In the list below, the terms before the slash are for your own family members, and those after it are honorific terms used to refer to someone else’s. Usage is changing, however: younger people today sometimes use the honorific terms to talk about their own family.
