Do you know how to talk about FAMILY IN SPANISH?
In Spanish when we are talking about a group of people including men and women we use the masculines plural. For example «hermanos» can be translated as brothers or siblings; «padres» means parents, not fathers. We usually say something like this: Tengo dos hijos, un niño y una niña (I have two children a boy and a girl).
Move for a male to a female is very easy, most names of family members just change the ending to «a»: hermano – hermana, hijo – hija, abuelo – abuela…
