Introducing Family Members ▲ |
Let's practice introducing your family members. Make sure you use the ingroup/humble terms to refer to your own family members. Also "style shift" will likely occur during the conversation. If you are talking to an outsider, use the polite forms, but if you are talking to an ingroup member, use the plain forms.
