People, family and conversation
Practise words for people, family, feelings and the body in short spoken-style sentences.
Using these words in context
父 and 母 are used in these examples for the speaker’s own parents. Terms for addressing someone or referring to another person’s family may differ.
好き and 嫌い behave as na-adjectives. The thing liked or disliked can be marked with が; an English translation alone does not show that sentence pattern.
