Some names of German family members are instantly recognizable to English listeners and readers: Mutter, Bruder, and Onkel for the English mother, brother, and uncle (all German nouns are capitalized in print).

一些德语家庭成员的称呼如：Mutter， Bruder 和 Onkel，懂英语的人很快地就知道这些字指的就是 mother， brother 和 uncle（德文的名词一律大写）。
