  1. Translations:

    Mother - okaasan

    Father - otoosan

    Brother - kyoudai

    Older (elder) Brother - Ani

    Younger Brother - otouto

    Sister - shimai

    Best Friend - Shinyuu

    Not sure of the whole sentence, but you can say "Shazuka" meaning "quite" or "shut up."

    I don't know the words talking or brat in Japanese but I am positive there is a translation.


  2. Just to add to the other answer:

    otousan - someone else's father

    chichi - my father

    okaasan - someone else's mother

    haha - my mother

    oniisan - someone else's older brother

    ani - my older brother

    oneesan - someone else's older sister

    ane - my older sister

    otouto - younger brother add -san for someone else's younger brother

    imouto - younger sister ditto

    With the words for family members that have a translation of my ____ that word is used when talking about them to others.  But if you are talking to them you would use the someone's else's ____ without the o- in front

    nakayoshi - close friend

    shinyuu - close friend

    Ya! - Yo!  (informal greeting)

    konbanwa - good evening

    odaijini - take care

    oyasuminasai - good night

    gomen nasai - sorry (take off nasai to make it informal)

    Onegaishimasu - please

    douitashimashite - your welcome

    ittekimasu - I'm going and will come back (said when leaving home)

    itterasshai - Please go and come back (said to person leaving)

    tadaima - I'm back (coming home)

    okaeri nasai - Welcome back

    owarimasu - It's done/finished

  3. familliar terms are different depending on whether you are speaking about someone in your own family or someone elses family

    Your Own Family:

    Mother - haha

    Older sister - Ane

    Younger  Brother - otouto

    Mother - okaasan

    Father - Otousan

    Older brother -Oniisan

    Older sister - oneesan

    younger brother - otoutosan

    younger sister - imoutosan

    the word for best friend is "shinyuu" or "besutofrendo"

    for 'stop talking to me brat' you could say " damare gaki" which is more literally "shut up you brat".(very rude)

    or you can say "urusai". (still rude)
