German Family Vocabulary Illustrated Family Tree — Familie Deutsch
German family vocabulary: Vater (father), Mutter (mother), Bruder (brother), Schwester (sister), Großvater (grandfather — literally "great father"), Großmutter (grandmother), Onkel (uncle), Tante (aunt), Cousin/Cousine (cousin). Notice how German builds compound words: Großvater uses "groß" (big/great) + "Vater." Understanding this compound word logic helps unlock hundreds of new words from known roots.
