I got a headache after watching this video but because I want to learn I will watch it many many time until i get it. Thank you for putting this together as it is helpful.
9:45 if you are a female your sister's son are your 姨甥子. or if you are a male your sister's son are your 外甥子. 10:00 if you are a female your sister's daughter are your 姨甥女. or if you are a male your sister's daughter are your 外甥女.
best video ever. i mean it's not easy just read or memorize every single word about family members. but this video helps a lot. not only for its well explained and described graphic buy also for its examples. thank u so much. so excited to find a really fantastic lesson.
Thanks for your feedback. In facts, it takes us about two weeks to finish this video about Chinese family tree in a clear way. Please share it to let more Chinese learners know. Thank you!
wow! just started learning chinese this year and needed to revise family members. i was only expecting really simple, but goes into full detail, which is really helpful. it is really complicated though, so i wrote it all down so i don't have to keep watching the video on loop. thank you so much for putting this out there! ♥♥♥
9:10 if you are a woman your brother's son in Chinese characters are your 姪子. Or. If you are a man your brother's son in Chinese characters are your 侄子. 9:28 if you are a woman the Chinese character for your brother's daughter are your 姪女. Or If you are a man the Chinese character for your brother's daughter are your 侄女.
why is it so complicated for no reason ? and i thought having a different word for uncle and aunt in the father's side or mother's in arabic was complicated enough now we have this ... this- anyway that was a great video , i will wipe my tears and start memorising this !
So what if there's more than one 表妹? Like what if I'm the eldest in the family and there are 4+ 表妹 (from different uncles and aunts), how do I differenciate between them? 大表妹，二表妹，三表妹..？ But how to differenciate between uncle's daughters and aunt's daughters? Or do I just call all of them 表妹?
Thanks for your comments, and your Chinese is excellent. In China, there are a bit regional differences in appellation, however, in this video, we just summarized the most commonly and simply used appellation in Mandarin Chinese.
Thank you so much for this lesson, so good and organized， so can I ask if there a sibling either from the father or mother side only how to call him or her?
I’m so greatful for this informative video, but how should I address my Jie Fu’s parents, is there a title for that? What is my Jie Jie’s children called? Because I have a Ge Ge and I’m glad to know their children is my zhi zi and zhi nu
We call our in-laws family Qǐng Jià 请假, but when calling your Jie Fu's parents please refrain from calling your Jie Fu's parents by their first name since they are still a generation above you, it can be quite controversial, so the appropriate term would be uncle in-law or aunty in-law, depending on how close are you to them. In some cases I've heard others addressing theirs 'Sir', 'Madam' or 'Mr', 'Mrs'. But I do know there is a proper title for them. Afterall the chinese had a history span of 5000 years and running, so what haven't they not invented? :)
Hello, To address your Jie Fu’s father 姐夫的爸爸 （of similar age to your father）, you can call shūshu （叔叔）or his family + shūshu, E.g. Wang shūshu 王叔叔. To address your Jie Fu’s mother 姐夫的妈妈 （of similar age to your mother）, you can call her āyí （阿姨）or her family + āyí , E.g. Lee āyí 李阿姨. To call your Jie Jie’s children 姐姐的孩子, you can call them wàizhí'ér外侄儿 （ for boys） or wàizhínǚ外侄女 （for girls）. Hope this will help you.
外侄儿 wàizhí'ér and 侄女 wàizhínǚ sounds about right! My Jie Fu's father 姐夫的爸爸 E.g. Zhou shūshu 朱叔叔 or Jie Fu's mother 姐夫的妈妈 E.g. Zhou āyi 朱阿姨 can work too. Thanks! ^_^
I wished that I could simplify by calling family members as uncle, aunt... and do not care whether he/she is from my mom side or my father side. For cousins just simply call them " hey brother, hey sister.
@@EverydayChinese yes i knew that already but because man are responsble for his child and his father and morher and his grand father and mother and same time for wife it is hard to get more than one child coz cost of living and man no brother and sister share with him responsblity so it is very hard

I'm a chinese.Actually,we won't write 姪子 or 姪女 often.Those two words are very very formal though these have got the same pronunication.

So same as #廣東話 / #歇後語 or ＃台山話 then.
Such as 侄子 or 姪女

哇！很好用
Great!
So slow.... But well explained....
Omg this is giving me anxiety. I’ll just ask my mom instead because this is too hard to memorize 😂
What a nice video, thank you so much! But how should I call 外婆的妹妹? Is it 姨姥姥?
yes。。。姨姥姥、姨婆，or just 姥姥、外婆
Got it, thanks!
how can i get the pic in the thumbnail ?

Yeah, you can choose what you want to learn from this video.
6:11 你媽媽的姐姐是你姨媽 你媽媽的妹妹是你阿姨。
姨妈／姨母是校准叫法，阿姨不是正式叫法，带阿的都不是正式叫法。区分大小可以叫大姨妈，二姨妈，三姨妈，小姨妈。
2:44 你的爸爸的姐姐叫姑媽
你的爸爸的妹妹叫姑姑
姑妈 （formal） = 姑姑（informal）
holy moly thats insane.. preschoolers must have hated visiting a relative hahaha
What about half siblings, stepsiblings and stepparents?
How do you address your mother's aunt/故故? 故奶奶？ How about mother's Uncle or even ones father's Uncle & Aunty？
...........
What about my nai nai's parents
How should I address them?
Your nai nai's parents: 外曾祖父母(wài zēng zǔ fù mǔ)
Your nai nai's father: 外曾祖父(wài zēng zǔ fù)
Your nai nai's mother:外曾祖母(wài zēng zǔ mǔ)

crazy... I dont like chinese class materials. they are all too complicated.
Why chinese use this while they had one child only
Now one-child policy in China is gone.
Most families in China have more than one child.
