Etymology[edit]
Ultimately from Middle Chinese 家族 (MC kae dzuwk). However, not attested until 1808,[1] so possibly a borrowing from modern written Chinese 家族 (jiāzú) with the expected Japanese reading applied.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
- a family, a household
- 2015 July 27, Åsa Ekström, “第１話 (Daiichiwa) ようこそ、ここへ (Yōkoso, Koko E)”, in さよならセプテンバー (Sayonara Seputenbā), volume 1 (fiction), Tokyo: Creek & River:
- ぼくらは幸せな家族になるよぜったい！
- Bokura wa shiawase na kazoku ni naru yo zettai!
- We’ll definitely make a happy family!
- ぼくらは幸せな家族になるよぜったい！
Usage notes[edit]
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 first cousins – i.e. 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”).
