Immediate family

Forældre ~ Parents

Just like in English, the Danish language has several words for mother and father. Starting with the words for mother, we see:

• Mor

And sometimes:

• Moder

The most common word for father is:

• Far

But occasionally

• Fader

is used.

Søskende ~ Siblings

The words for søskende (siblings) are for brother:

• Bror
• Broder

and for sister:

• Søster

Børn ~ Children

In Danish, the words for son and daughter are close to English. They are søn and datter, respectively.

The rest of the family

• Onkel = Uncle, used mostly for a man married to a moster or faster
• Morbror = Mother's brother
• Farbror = Father's brother

• Tante = Aunt, used mostly about a woman married to a farbror or morbror
• Moster = Mother's sister
• Faster = Father's sister

• Niece = Niece
• Nevø = Nephew

• Fætter = Male cousin
• Kusine = Female cousin

Bedsteforældre ~ Grandparents

Grandparents are also quite simple. Keep in mind mor is mother and far is father.

Maternal Grandparents:

• Mormor = Maternal grandmother
• Morfar = Maternal grandfather

Paternal Grandparents:

• Farmor = Paternal grandmother
• Farfar = Paternal grandfather

The Danish word for grandchild is barnebarn.

Oldeforældre ~ Great-grandparents

• Oldefar/Oldefader = Great-grandfather
• Oldemor/Oldemoder = Great-grandmother

The Danish word for great-grandchild is oldebarn

Tipoldeforældre ~ Great-great-grandparents

• Tipoldefar/Tipoldefader = Great-great-grandfather
• Tipoldemor/Tipoldemoder = Great-great-grandmother

The Danish word for great-great-grandchild is tipoldebarn.

• For every generation from this point forward you add another tip- to the title.
