Family words and the adjectives that go with them are really important in Spanish.

They help us talk about our relationships with the people we love.

Here are some family nouns:

• Padre (father)
• Madre (mother)
• Hermano (brother)
• Hermana (sister)
• Hijo (son)
• Hija (daughter)

Now, let’s look at some words that describe them:

• Mayor (older)
• Menor (younger)
• Cariñoso(a) (loving)
• Estricto(a) (strict)
• Amable (kind)

Here are some sentences using these words:

• Mi padre es estricto. (My father is strict.)
• Tengo una hermana cariñosa. (I have a loving sister.)

These words help us talk about our families in a clear and simple way!
