Ok, just because I didn't see where some of the questions were answered, I'd like to offer a little insight.

When talking about your family, you would use the terms listed for your own family. However, when talking to your family, you would tend to use the terms listed for someone else's family. This is because those terms are more polite, and you want to be respectful to your elders. Let me give you an example.

To say "My mother is 45 years old" you would say. "Watashi no haha wa, yojuugo sai desu". ((This is just an example, I'm not revealing how old my mother actually is.))

But to say "Mom, I'm going out with my friends," you would say. "Okaasan. Tomoto tachi wa, atashi wo ikimasu." ((Tomoto means friend, and ikimasu means leaving. )) Tachi is a plural form used for people, but generally, Japanese does not have plural forms. The same word is usually used for singular and plural, as Sensei said earlier. ((Yes, I did make sure to read everything before posting this time. 3nodding ))

Watashi wa Kazoku to haha to chichi.

This is kind of a weird sentence.If you're going to speak about your family & it is the subject of your sentence, you should say、”Watashi no kazoku (my family) ha (subject

marker)....."

I have a very large family... so how would you say nephew, niece, and sister-in-law? And also when using these do they change when talking about them to other people vs addressing them. If you don't mind answering xp
