I'M MARRIED AND HAVE TWO CHILDREN.
私は結婚していて子供が２人います。
- When meeting someone in their twenties or older, a natural way to ask about their own family is to start by asking, “Are you married?”
If they are, then you can ask, “Do you have any children?”
A natural way to tell someone about your own family is to say, for example, “I'm married and have two children.” or “I have a wife/husband and two children.”
Be Careful! Remember to say “I have A wife/husband.,” NOT “I have ONE wife/husband.” - ２０代以上の人に会って、その人の家族について尋ねる場合、まず Are you married? つまり、結婚されていますか？、と尋ねるのが一般的です。
結婚していれば、 Do you have any children? 、お子さんはいらっしゃいますか？、と尋ねても構いません。
自分の家族について話す場合、例えば I'm married and have two children. または、 I have a wife/husband and two children. 、私は結婚していて子供が２人います、などという言い方をします。
注意： I have ONE wife/husband. ではなく、 I have A wife/husband. と言うことを覚えておいてください。
- a: Are you married?
b: Yes, I am.
a: Do you have any children?
b: I have two boys and one girl. - a: Are you married?
b: Yes, I got married two years ago.
a: Do you have any children yet?
b: Not yet. - (introducing herself at her first day of work)
My name is Theresa Simpson. I'm married and have one daughter. She's three years old. - (female school office employees)
a: Who's that beautiful man over there?
b: That's the new vice principal.
a: (excited) I'm going to introduce myself!
b: Wait. You should also know that he has a wife and three children.
Have a terrific day!
