Help with grammar (paragraph about family)
 

hello!

So i will have to write a short paragraph in japanese about my family and I would like to know if the grammar is correct.

Watashi no kazoku wa 4-nin desu. Chichi to haha to imooto to watashi desu. Watashi no kazoku de chichi ga ichiban toshiyori desu. Chichi wa 59-sai desu. Mae chichi ga ichiban takaku nakatta desu. demo ima watashi wa chichi yori takai desu. Haha wa imooto to onaji gurai takai desu. Imooto no namae wa Laura-san desu. Imooto wa Helsinki ni imasu. Chichi to haha wa Tampere ni imasu.

Thank you in advance.

Can you not type in Japanese? There is a thread on how to set it up on this forum near the top.

1. You don't need to use "wata(ku)shi" as much as you do. Japanese avoid pronouns a lot. I can't say about Finnish, knowing only the word "Suomi" in the language, but in Japanese they aren't that important. For example, sentence #1 should just be 家族は４人です。 No need for 私 at all.

2. When saying "out of all of my family, my X is tallest" you would say 家族の中で not 家族で.

Thank you for your answer. I have just started my studies so currently I know romaji better and I haven't even learned any kanji yet.

Writing in Japanese is the best way to get help on this forum.

Once you have at least hiragana down come on back and ask.

I read online. (Link : Family)
chichi = my father
okaasan = someoneelse/your father
so it doesn't have to use 'watasi no kazoku de chichi', which is quite long for me.
is it right or wrong ?

目が痛いよ！日本語だけ下さい

(Don't shoot me people, just kidding).

I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at, but おかあさん does not mean "your father."

And in the vein of Chryuop:

:eek: I knew under that black "dress" there was something hiding...well better missing LOL

I served with your fath- mother in the Clone Wars.

LOL that made me laugh so hard.
