Today I want to show you some words that are about family. For this, just read the following (fictional) text. In the end I got some questions that you can answer through the comment field if you want!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; My name is Jan and my family status is \u201cverheiratet\u201d (married). My Ehefrau (wife) works as a hairstylist in the city of Berlin. We have three Kinder (children). Two Jungen (boys) and one M\u00e4dchen (girl). They\u00b4re called Fritz, Max and Susi. They\u00b4re aged 8, 5 and 3. Fritz is the oldest. His Bruder (brother) Max is the youngest and his Schwester (sister) Susi is in between. They love to play with their Cousinen (cousins) Emil and Charlotte. Their parents are my wife\u00b4s sister and her Ehemann (husband) Michael. So to me, Michael is my Schwager (brother-in-law).<\/p>\n<p>My Eltern (parents) live in the south of Germany. So do my Schwiegereltern (parents-in-law). Our Tanten und Onkel (aunts and uncles) are living all over Germany. So we don\u00b4t see them very often.<\/p>\n<p>My brother also has some children. One of my Neffen (nephews) is a Patenkind (godchild) to me and I\u00b4ll try to be the best Patenonkel (godfather) I can be in case they become Waisen (orphans) which hopefully won\u00b4t happen!<\/p>\n<p>So as you can imagine, life is demanding sometimes with such a big family. But my S\u00f6hne (sons) and my Tochter (daughter) are developing very well and I wouldn\u00b4t miss them anymore! To hear them say Papa (dad) or Mama (mom) is one of the greatest things in life!<\/p>\n<p>Christmas is always a big Familienfest (family celebration) so the whole crowd will be united for some days. &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Questions (to answer in German):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; What is the word for the husband of my wife\u00b4s sister?<br \/>\n&#8211; What is the word for the children of my brother?<br \/>\n&#8211; What are children called, who\u00b4s parents already died?<br \/>\n&#8211; Could you translate wife and husband?<br \/>\n&#8211; My male child is a _______ to me.
