In Japanese, "Otoo-san" is the most common and formal way of addressing one's father, while "Otoosan" and "Otoo san" are more casual and informal variations of the same word.

In Japanese, "Okaasan" is the most common and formal way to refer to one's mother, while "Okaa-san" and "Okaa san" are more informal and casual variations of the word. The different spellings and pronunciations reflect the flexibility of the Japanese language and the various levels of formality that can be used when addressing family members.

    Explanation
    The given answer options "Obaa-san," "Obaasan," and "Obaa san" are all different ways of transliterating the Japanese word "おばあさん" into English. In Japanese, "おばあさん" means "grandmother." The different variations in the answer options are due to the romanization system used to represent Japanese characters in English.

"Oni san" is the least formal and can be used in a casual setting. All three variations are correct and acceptable depending on the level of formality desired.

    Younger Brother (out)

    Explanation
    The given answer "Otootosan, Otooto san, Otooto-san" refers to different ways of addressing one's younger brother in Japanese. "Otootosan" is a formal and polite way of addressing one's younger brother. "Otooto san" is a more casual and informal way of addressing him. "Otooto-san" is a combination of the two, where "san" is a honorific suffix added to the more casual term. These variations in addressing reflect the different levels of formality and familiarity in Japanese culture.

    Younger Sister (younger)

    Explanation
    The given answer options "Imootosan," "Imooto san," and "Imooto-san" all refer to the term "Younger Sister" in Japanese. The term "Imootosan" is written without any spaces or punctuation, while "Imooto san" is written with a space between the words. "Imooto-san" is written with a hyphen between the words. These different variations represent different ways of romanizing the Japanese term "妹さん" (imouto-san). The answer options provide different ways of representing the same term in English, allowing for flexibility in spelling and punctuation.
