Let's look at some more examples.

Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers.

아버지, 어머니, 여동생, 저예요. (A-beo-ji, eo-meo-ni, yeo-dong-saeng, jeo-ye-yo.)

아버지, 어머니, 여동생, 저예요.

어머니, 아버지, 오빠, 저예요. (Eo-meo-ni, a-beo-ji, o-ppa, jeo-ye-yo.)

어머니, 아버지, 오빠, 저예요.

아버지, 어머니, 누나, 저예요. (A-beo-ji, eo-meo-ni, nu-na, jeo-ye-yo.)

아버지, 어머니, 누나, 저예요.

아버지, 어머니, 언니, 남동생, 저예요. (A-beo-ji, eo-meo-ni, eon-ni, nam-dong-saeng, jeo-ye-yo.)

아버지, 어머니, 언니, 남동생, 저예요.

부모님, 오빠, 저예요. (Bu-mo-nim, o-ppa, jeo-ye-yo.)

부모님, 오빠, 저예요.

Did you notice how I replaced 어머니, 아버지 with 부모님 (bu-mo-nim), "parents?"

부모님, 오빠, 저예요.

These are my parents, older brother, and me.

First is 부모님, "parents." 부모님. 부모님.

부모님 means, "parents," but it translates as "my parents," in the context of answering the question.

You should be aware of this word, but you won't need it for this lesson.
