    • 2015 July 27, Ekström, Åsa, “第１話　ようこそ、ここへ [Chapter 1: welcome]”, in さよならセプテンバー [Goodbye September], volume 1 (fiction, in Japanese), Tokyo: Creek & River:
      ぼくらは幸 (しあわ)せな家 (か)族 (ぞく)になるよぜったい！
      Bokura wa shiawase na kazoku ni naru yo zettai!
      We’ll definitely make a happy family!

Usage notes

家族 refers to one’s own family, particularly immediate family – parents, children, and siblings. To refer to another’s family, one uses the honorific form ご家族 (go-kazoku, “another’s family”, honorific). To refer to one’s relatives generally, one uses 親戚 (shinseki, “relative”), which includes even distant relatives. For close relatives – say, aunts, uncles, and close cousins – one may use 近親 (kinshin, “close relative”). For close people, not necessarily family, one may use 身内 (miuchi, “close family, close friends”).

Synonyms

  • 御家族, ご家族 (かぞく) (go-kazoku) (honorific)
