🌳 1. How Do You Say “Family” in Hindi?
The most common Hindi word for family is:
परिवार
Parivaar
Family
Example:
मेरा परिवार छोटा है।
Mera parivaar chhota hai.
My family is small.
मेरा परिवार बड़ा है।
Mera parivaar bada hai.
My family is big.
Useful words
| Hindi | Roman Hindi | English |
|---|---|---|
| परिवार | Parivaar | Family |
| रिश्तेदार | RishteDaar | Relatives |
| रिश्ता | Rishta | Relationship / relation |
| सदस्य | Sadasya | Member |
| घर | Ghar | Home / house |
| माता-पिता | Maata-Pita | Parents |
| परिवार का सदस्य | Parivaar ka sadasya | Family member |
Quick memory trick 🧠
Parivaar = Family
Think:
Parivaar → People around you → Family
👩👩👦 2. Immediate Family Vocabulary in Hindi
Start with the people closest to you.
| English | Hindi | Roman Hindi |
|---|---|---|
| Mother | माँ | Maa |
| Father | पिता | Pita |
| Mom | मम्मी | Mummy |
| Dad | पापा | Papa |
| Parents | माता-पिता | Maata-Pita |
| Brother | भाई | Bhai |
| Sister | बहन | Behen |
| Son | बेटा | Beta |
| Daughter | बेटी | Beti |
| Husband | पति | Pati |
| Wife | पत्नी | Patni |
| Child | बच्चा | Bachcha |
| Children | बच्चे | Bachche |
These are among the most useful words for beginner Hindi conversations. Hindi also commonly uses familiar forms such as माँ, पापा, भाई, बहन, बेटा, बेटी, while more formal vocabulary may appear in writing or formal contexts.
❤️ 3. Mother and Father in Hindi
Mother
माँ
Maa
Mother / Mom
Example:
मेरी माँ घर पर हैं।
Meri maa ghar par hain.
My mother is at home.
You may also hear:
मम्मी — Mummy
Mom
माता — Maata
Mother, more formal/literary
Father
पिता
Pita
Father
Example:
मेरे पिता शिक्षक हैं।
Mere pita shikshak hain.
My father is a teacher.
In everyday conversation, you will often hear:
पापा
Papa
Dad
Example:
मेरे पापा डॉक्टर हैं।
Mere papa doctor hain.
My dad is a doctor.
Respectful forms
You may also hear:
पिताजी — Pitaji
Father / respected father
माताजी — Mataji
Mother / respected mother
The suffix -ji (जी) can add respect to a person's title or name.
👨👩👧 4. How to Say “My Family” in Hindi
This is one of the most important patterns to learn.
मेरा परिवार
Mera parivaar
My family
Why mera?
Because parivaar is grammatically masculine in Hindi.
Useful sentences
मेरा परिवार छोटा है।
Mera parivaar chhota hai.
My family is small.
मेरा परिवार बड़ा है।
Mera parivaar bada hai.
My family is big.
मेरा परिवार बहुत प्यारा है।
Mera parivaar bahut pyaara hai.
My family is very lovely.
मेरा परिवार भारत में रहता है।
Mera parivaar Bharat mein rehta hai.
My family lives in India.
👨👩👧👦 5. How to Say “There Are Four People in My Family”
This is a super-useful sentence pattern.
मेरे परिवार में चार लोग हैं।
Mere parivaar mein chaar log hain.
Meaning:
There are four people in my family.
Change the number:
मेरे परिवार में तीन लोग हैं।
Mere parivaar mein teen log hain.
There are three people in my family.
मेरे परिवार में पाँच लोग हैं।
Mere parivaar mein paanch log hain.
There are five people in my family.
मेरे परिवार में छह लोग हैं।
Mere parivaar mein chhah log hain.
There are six people in my family.
The pattern:
Mere parivaar mein + number + log hain.
This one sentence gives you a powerful foundation for introducing your family.
👦 6. Brother in Hindi
भाई
Bhai
Brother
Example:
मेरा भाई छात्र है।
Mera bhai chhaatra hai.
My brother is a student.
But Hindi gives you another useful distinction:
बड़ा भाई
Bada bhai
Older brother
छोटा भाई
Chhota bhai
Younger brother
You may also hear:
भैया
Bhaiya
This is commonly used as a familiar or respectful way of addressing an older brother and, depending on context, other older males.
Examples
मेरा बड़ा भाई दिल्ली में रहता है।
Mera bada bhai Delhi mein rehta hai.
My older brother lives in Delhi.
मेरा छोटा भाई स्कूल में पढ़ता है।
Mera chhota bhai school mein padhta hai.
My younger brother studies at school.
👧 7. Sister in Hindi
बहन
Behen / Bahan
Sister
Roman spellings vary because Roman Hindi does not have one universal spelling system.
बड़ी बहन
Badi behen
Older sister
छोटी बहन
Chhoti behen
Younger sister
Another extremely common word is:
दीदी
Didi
It is commonly used for an older sister and can also be used respectfully for an older female.
Examples:
मेरी बड़ी बहन डॉक्टर है।
Meri badi behen doctor hai.
My older sister is a doctor.
मेरी छोटी बहन स्कूल में पढ़ती है।
Meri chhoti behen school mein padhti hai.
My younger sister studies at school.
मेरी दीदी बहुत अच्छी हैं।
Meri didi bahut achchhi hain.
My older sister is very nice.
🧠 8. The Easy “Older vs. Younger” Trick
This is an important Hindi pattern.
Older = बड़ा / बड़ी
Bada / Badi
Younger = छोटा / छोटी
Chhota / Chhoti
Because Hindi adjectives can change according to gender:
बड़ा भाई
Bada bhai
Older brother
बड़ी बहन
Badi behen
Older sister
छोटा भाई
Chhota bhai
Younger brother
छोटी बहन
Chhoti behen
Younger sister
Memory trick:
👨 Bada bhai = Big/older brother
👩 Badi behen = Big/older sister
👦 Chhota bhai = Small/younger brother
👧 Chhoti behen = Small/younger sister
Don't translate these word-for-word every time.
Instead, learn them as ready-made Hindi chunks.
👴👵 9. Grandparents in Hindi
Here's where Hindi family vocabulary becomes especially interesting.
English generally uses:
Grandfather
Grandmother
Hindi commonly distinguishes between the father's side and the mother's side.
Father's Parents
दादा
Daada
Father's father / paternal grandfather
दादी
Daadi
Father's mother / paternal grandmother
Mother's Parents
नाना
Naana
Mother's father / maternal grandfather
नानी
Naani
Mother's mother / maternal grandmother
These distinctions are an important part of Hindi kinship vocabulary.
Memory trick 🧠
Dada–Dadi → Dad's side
Nana–Nani → Mom's side
This isn't a perfect linguistic rule for every possible family situation, but it's a very useful beginner memory shortcut.
👨👩👧👦 10. Uncle and Aunt in Hindi
This is where English learners often discover something surprising:
English often uses uncle or aunt for many different relationships.
Hindi commonly uses more specific kinship words.
Father's younger brother
चाचा — Chacha
Father's younger brother
Father's older brother
ताऊ — Taau
Father's older brother
Mother's brother
मामा — Maama
Mother's brother
Father's sister
बुआ — Bua
Father's sister
Mother's sister
मौसी — Mausi
Mother's sister
These distinctions are one reason Hindi family vocabulary can feel much more detailed than English family vocabulary.
Don't try to memorize everything on Day 1.
Start with:
Chacha → father's younger brother
Taau → father's older brother
Maama → mother's brother
Bua → father's sister
Mausi → mother's sister
Then practice them through sentences.
👶 11. Son and Daughter in Hindi
बेटा
Beta
Son
बेटी
Beti
Daughter
Examples:
मेरा बेटा स्कूल जाता है।
Mera beta school jaata hai.
My son goes to school.
मेरी बेटी स्कूल जाती है।
Meri beti school jaati hai.
My daughter goes to school.
Notice something important:
मेरा बेटा
but
मेरी बेटी
This is because बेटा is masculine and बेटी is feminine.
💍 12. Husband and Wife in Hindi
Husband
पति — Pati
Example:
मेरे पति शिक्षक हैं।
Mere pati shikshak hain.
My husband is a teacher.
Wife
पत्नी — Patni
Example:
मेरी पत्नी डॉक्टर हैं।
Meri patni doctor hain.
My wife is a doctor.
In everyday speech, people may also use personal names, relationship terms, or other context-dependent expressions.
🗺️ 13. Useful Extended Family Vocabulary
Once you've mastered immediate family, expand your vocabulary gradually.
| English | Hindi | Roman Hindi |
|---|---|---|
| Relative | रिश्तेदार | Rishtedaar |
| Grandfather — father's side | दादा | Daada |
| Grandmother — father's side | दादी | Daadi |
| Grandfather — mother's side | नाना | Naana |
| Grandmother — mother's side | नानी | Naani |
| Father's younger brother | चाचा | Chacha |
| Father's older brother | ताऊ | Taau |
| Mother's brother | मामा | Maama |
| Father's sister | बुआ | Bua |
| Mother's sister | मौसी | Mausi |
| Brother's wife | भाभी | Bhabhi |
| Sister's husband | बहनोई | Behnoi |
| Nephew | भतीजा / भांजा | Bhatija / Bhanja |
| Niece | भतीजी / भांजी | Bhatiji / Bhanji |
| Grandchild | पोता / पोती / नाती / नातिन | Pota / Poti / Naati / Naatin |
⚠️ Don't feel pressured to memorize this entire table.
For beginner Hindi, parents + siblings + grandparents + a few common relatives are enough to start speaking.

🔑 15. Learn These Hindi Sentence Patterns
Instead of memorizing 50 isolated sentences, learn a few patterns.
Pattern A: My + Family Member
Mera + masculine noun
Mera bhai
My brother
Mera beta
My son
Mera pati
My husband
Meri + feminine noun
Meri behen
My sister
Meri maa
My mother
Meri beti
My daughter
Meri patni
My wife
Pattern B: I Have...
मेरे पास...
Mere paas...
This literally means “with me / in my possession,” and is useful for many “I have” statements.
But with family, Hindi very naturally uses:
मेरी एक बहन है।
Meri ek behen hai.
I have one sister.
मेरा एक भाई है।
Mera ek bhai hai.
I have one brother.
Think of this as:
Mera/Meri + person + hai/hain

Hindi words for family members
⚠️ 25. Common Mistakes English Speakers Make
Mistake 1: Learning only “uncle” and “aunt”
English can use the same word for many relatives.
Hindi often makes more specific distinctions.
Instead of trying to translate every relationship directly from English, learn the Hindi relationship as its own vocabulary item.
Mistake 2: Forgetting मेरा vs. मेरी
Remember:
मेरा भाई
Mera bhai
मेरी बहन
Meri behen
मेरा बेटा
Mera beta
मेरी बेटी
Meri beti
Don't memorize only mera = my and meri = my.
Learn them together with the noun.
Mistake 3: Translating every sentence word-for-word
Don't build Hindi like a mathematical equation.
Instead of thinking:
English → translate → Hindi → speak
Try:
Hindi chunk → meaning → speak
For example, memorize:
Mere parivaar mein chaar log hain.
as one useful sentence pattern.
Mistake 4: Only reading Roman Hindi
Roman Hindi is excellent as a bridge for beginners.
But gradually connect:
Hindi script + Roman Hindi + sound + meaning
For example:
भाई → Bhai → Brother
This creates stronger reading and pronunciation skills.
🌏 26. Why Family Vocabulary Matters When Learning Hindi
Family vocabulary is not just another vocabulary topic.
It connects to everyday conversation.
You may hear people talk about:
Parents
Brothers and sisters
Marriage
Children
Grandparents
Relatives
Family visits
Weddings
Festivals
Jobs
Education
Where relatives live
Family plans
Hindi also has a rich kinship vocabulary, including separate terms for many maternal and paternal relationships.
So learning family vocabulary gives you a doorway into real Hindi conversations.

🎯 32. Don't Memorize Everything — Build Your Family Map
Here's a better learning strategy.
Take a piece of paper.
Write:
👨👩👧👦 MY FAMILY
Then add:
Maa — माँ — Mother
Papa — पापा — Father
Bhai — भाई — Brother
Behen — बहन — Sister
Then add:
Daada — दादा
Daadi — दादी
Naana — नाना
Naani — नानी
Then add extended family only when you need it.
This makes Hindi vocabulary personal.
And personal vocabulary is easier to remember.
💡 33. A Powerful Hindi Learning Trick: Talk About YOUR Life
Instead of creating random sentences like:
“Rahul has two brothers.”
Create sentences about yourself:
Mere do bhai hain.
Instead of:
“His grandmother lives in Mumbai.”
Say:
Meri naani Mumbai mein rehti hain.
Instead of memorizing:
“She is a teacher.”
Connect it:
Meri behen teacher hain.
Your brain now has a real person attached to the word.
That's much more useful than memorizing a dictionary.

🚀 35. Your Next Hindi Speaking Mission
Today, don't try to memorize 50 family words.
Learn these 10 core words first:
Parivaar — परिवार — Family
Maa — माँ — Mother
Papa — पापा — Dad
Bhai — भाई — Brother
Behen — बहन — Sister
Beta — बेटा — Son
Beti — बेटी — Daughter
Daada — दादा — Paternal grandfather
Daadi — दादी — Paternal grandmother
Naana/Naani — नाना/नानी — Maternal grandparents
Then create five sentences about your real family.
Finally, speak for 30 seconds without reading.
That's your real Hindi practice.
❤️ Final Takeaway: Talk About Family, Start Speaking Hindi
Learning how to talk about your family in Hindi is not just about memorizing:
माँ — Maa — Mother
or
भाई — Bhai — Brother
The real goal is to use those words naturally.
You should be able to say:
Mere parivaar mein chaar log hain. Mere maata-pita, mera bhai aur main. Meri maa teacher hain aur mere papa businessman hain. Mera bhai college mein padhta hai. Mera parivaar bahut pyaara hai.
You don't need perfect Hindi.
You need useful Hindi + repetition + speaking practice.
Start small.
Speak about your real life.
Repeat every day.
And little by little, Hindi stops being something you study and becomes something you use. 🌱🗣️🇮🇳
