Let’s take a look at how to use this word in a sentence!

Example Sentences

First, let’s look at what the boy in our example picture is saying! First, let’s make a word bank!

English	Hiragana	Kanji	Romaji (reading)
It’s okay	だいじょうぶ	大丈夫	Daijoubu
We / us	おれたち	俺たち	Oretachi
Family	かぞく	家族	Kazoku

Now, let’s write out what he said in romaji!:

“Daijoubu. Oretachi wa kazoku da.”

Let’s change it to hiragana:

”だいじょうぶ。おれたち　は　かぞく　だ。”

And lastly, let’s add in the kanji:

”大丈夫。俺たち　は　家族　だ。”

We can translate this sentence using our word bank at the top:

It’s okay, we’re family.

---

What if we want to say… “My family is opposed to it!” As in… “My family is opposed to my dating him!”　First up, we need a word bank!

English	Hiragana	Kanji	Romaji (reading)
I / my	わたし	私	Watashi
Family	かぞく	家族	Kazoku
To Oppose	はんたい	反対	Hantai

Now that we know all of the relevant words, let’s put them together in a sentence!

First, in romaji only:

Watashi no kazoku ni hantai saremashita

Now using hiragana:

わたし　の　かぞく　に　はんたい　されました

Now let’s add in the kanji:

私　の　家族　に　反対　されました

---

Let’s try one more sentence! What if we want to say… “I introduced my boyfriend to my family“? Let’s get the word bank started!

English	Hiragana	Kanji	Romaji (reading)
I	わたし	私	Watashi
To introduce	しょうかい	紹介	Shoukai
Boyfriend	かれし	彼氏	Kareshi
Family	かぞく	家族	Kazoku

Alright, let’s make some sentences!

First, using romaji only:

Watashi wa kareshi o kazoku ni shoukai shimashita

Now using hiragana:

わたし　は　かれし　を　かぞく　に　しょうかい　しました

Now let’s add in the kanji:

私　は　彼氏　を　家族　に　紹介　しました

---

And that’s kazoku! Have you ever heard this word before?
