Let us begin with the basic

How do you say "MOM" and "DAD"

 

In Korean,

Mom is "엄마 Umma" 

and

Dad is "아빠 A-bba"

**double-word needs to be given a strong accent

 

But this is a fun and easy approach but when you address them in the public or more respective way,

 

아빠 (A-bba) would be "아버지 A-buzz-zi"

and

엄마 (Umma) would be "어머니 Uh-money"

 

Maybe you could have heard it in "saguk 사극, " a historical K- drama

For Daughter, we say "딸 Ddal"

and for Son, "아들 Adul"

 

**A great tip! 

for Twins, you say "쌍둥이 Ssang-dung-E"

 

How about a sibling?

ATTENTION!!

 

For girl-girl siblings, we call it "자매 ja-me"

For boy-boy, "형제 hyung-jay"

For girl-boy and vice versa, "남매 nam-me"

 

For example, we are all five girls in the family

"오(5) 자매예요"

"오 oh" which means five and it follows by "자매 ja-me"
