    How to Say Family Members in Chinese

    In China, to address correctly each family member takes years of


    practice (joking!). But for the little kids and new family members, it
    does seem more difficult to say the correct title in Chinese for the
    entire family members and relatives than in English-speaking
    countries. In this article, you are going to learn what to call your
    family members or relatives in Chinese!
    Let's start with the basics!

    1. Parents
    爸爸 bàba, Dad
    妈妈 māma, Mom
    2. Siblings
    哥哥 gēge, older brother
    弟弟 dìdi, younger brother
    姐姐 jiějie, older sister
    妹妹 mèimei, younger sister
    3. Grandparents
    Paternal side
    爷爷 yéye, grandpa (father's father)
    奶奶 nǎinai, grandma (father's mother)
    Maternal side
    外公 wàigōng, grandpa (mother's father)
    外婆 wàipó, grandma (mother's mother)

    Sample Sentences:
    1. Zhè shì wǒ de jiā.
    2. Zhè shì wǒ de bàba hé mama.
    3. Zhè shì wǒ de ___________.
