==Immediate family==<br />
====Forældre ~ Parents====<br />
Just like in English, the Danish language has several words for ''mother'' and ''father''. Starting with the words for ''mother'', we see:<br />
*'''Mor'''<br />
*'''Moder'''<br />
The most common words for ''father'' are:<br />
*'''Far'''<br />
*'''Fader'''<br />
====Søskende ~ Siblings====<br />
The words for ''søskende'' (siblings) are for ''brother'':<br />
*'''Bror'''<br />
*'''Broder'''<br />
and for ''sister'':<br />
*'''Søster'''<br />
<br />
====Børn ~ Children====<br />
In Danish, the words for ''son'' and ''daughter'' are surprisingly close to English. They are '''søn''' and '''datter''', respectively.<br />
<br />
==The rest of the family==<br />
<br />
*'''Onkel''' = Uncle<br />
*'''Tante''' = Aunt<br />
<br />
*'''Niece''' = Niece<br />
*'''Nevø''' = Nephew<br />
<br />
*'''Fætter''' = Male cousin<br />
*'''Kusine''' = Female cousin<br />
<br />
====Bedsteforældre ~ Grandparents====<br />
Grandparents are also quite simple. Keep in mind ''mor'' is mother and ''far'' is father.<br />
<br />
Maternal Grandparents:<br />
*'''Mormor''' = Maternal grandmother<br />
*'''Morfar''' = Maternal grandmother<br />
<br />
Paternal Grandparents:<br />
*'''Farmor''' = Paternal grandmother<br />
*'''Farfar''' = Paternal grandfather<br />
<br />
The Danish word for ''grandchild'' is '''barnebarn'''.<br />
<br />
====Oldeforældre ~ Great-grandparents====<br />
*'''Oldefar'''/'''Oldefader''' = Great-grandfather<br />
*'''Oldemor'''/'''Oldemoder''' = Great-grandmother<br />
