Just like any other language, learning to speak German can be difficult for beginners. But with repeated practice and incorporating the word into your life, picking up words will be easy. We are going to learn to say «Sister» in German.
Steps
-
1
Understand the context.
- You need to consider in what way you want to use this word to ensure it is used correctly.
- Are you talking about a full sister? or a half sister? Will she be present when you speak about her? or will you be speaking about her in the third person?
-
2
Saying Sister when your sister is with you:
- The correct word is «Schwester». The first portion of this word the «sch» is pronounced similar to the start of «schnapps» the drink and the rest of the word «wester» is pronounced as it sounds.
- Now put the two sounds together to make «Schwester»
-
3
Saying «My Sister».
- The word for Sister does not change from the above step however as in English we insert My in front of the word sister, the Germans inserted a word before «Schwester» to complete this saying.
- The German word need to be added here is «Meine». This word is pronounced with a «My» sound to start despite it’s spelling and finishes with a «Na». Now put these sounds together to pronounce «My-na» and you are saying the word for «Meine», when you add the previous word «Schwester» you are now saying «My Sister» in German.
-
4
Saying «Half Sister». The word for this expression in German is one word. «Halbschwester» instead of the English two words. The first half of this word is «Halb» as it is in English added with it is the previously discussed «Schwester» to create «Halbschwester».
-
5
Saying «little sister». The word for little in this context is «kleine». It roughly translates to the English word of «small» but it is the correct word for this context. To pronounce the first sound is «klein» like Calvin Klein the designer and the second sound is a «na» sound. So add the two together to make «kleinna» sound. Now add the previous word «Schwester» for sister to make the full saying «Kleine Schwester»

There are no shorts for «Bruder» and «Schwester» that people would actively use for their brother or sister.
Nowadays there are very recent slang words for close friends like «bro» that are borrowed from English and very young people use it in order to sound cool but as far as I know they only use it for their friends and not for their actual siblings.
Sometimes people call each other «Bruder» without actually being siblings and it’s more like slang for homie/dude and it’s just the younger people doing it.
There is also «Brudi» which is a slang version/diminutive and which is also only used like homie/friend/dude and not for actual brothers. It’s also popular on Reddit and in memes but IRL it’s really just a smaller bubble using it.
There’s «Schwesti» now which probably derived from «Brudi» and it’s basically the same as: «dudette». I wouldn’t use it IRL or for actual sisters.
There are German diminutives thar are actually longer such as: Brüderchen, Schwesterchen, Brüderlein, Schwesterlein, Bruderherz, Schwesterherz
We actually use it ironically because it sounds a bit cheesy and «dated».
Kids that want to be really cool might even use the English «bro» and «sis» for their siblings. They might also use the English «Mom» and «Dad» for their parents.

Mutter: Mama, Mami, Mutti
Vater: Papa, Papi, Vati
