Questions & Answers about watashi no ryoushin wa naka no ii fuufu desu.

What does 両親 (りょうしん) mean exactly, and how is it different from saying 父 (ちち) and 母 (はは)?

両親 means “both parents / (my) parents” as a unit.

• 両 = both
• 親 = parent
• 両親 = both parents → parents

Differences:

• 両親 focuses on the pair as a whole, not on them individually.
• 父と母 literally “father and mother” – just lists the two people, a bit more casual/simpler.
• When talking about your own parents in a neutral sentence like this, 私の両親 is very natural.
• To talk about someone else’s parents politely, you’d usually say ご両親 (honorific prefix ご).

So:

• 私の両親は… = My parents …
• 父と母は… = My father and mother … (also correct, but stylistically a bit different)

What is the role of の in 私の両親 and in 仲のいい? Are they the same?
