Japanese Language
「Sentence Structure」

​「7」

(a) My father is a doctor.
私の父は医者だ/です。
Watashi no chichi wa isha da/desu.

(b)Ms. Sada's father is also a doctor.
佐田さんのお父さんもいしゃだ/です。
Sada-san no otōsan mo isha da/desu.

In Japanese, the terms to address or refer to one's own family members differ to those used in reference to someone else's family members. Referring to one's own father, the humble form of chichi is used; in reference to someone else's father the honorific form of o-tō-san is used. When addressing one's own father however, the honorific o-tō-san is used.
「There will be a list of all the terms for family members either that of your own, or your friends, and when to use and what, that will be put up in the near future, please look forward to it!」

Examples:
私の兄は公務員です。課長のお兄さんも公民です。
Watashi no ani wa kōmuindesu. Kachō no o-nī-san mo kōmin desu.
My older brother is a civil servant. The section chief's older brother is also a civil servant.

息子は大学生です。田垣先生の息子さんも大学生です。

Musuko wa daigakusei desu. Tagaki sensei no musuko-san mo daigakusei desu.

Kanai wa hisho ja nai. Hiru-san no oku-san mo hisho ja nai.

Hope you find this useful, and hope to see you again!
