Use the text label first, then say a short example of your own. These are suggested starting words, not a CEFR assessment. Emoji appearance varies by device: a person's appearance cannot identify a family relationship, and a candy picture is only a cue for sugar. Read the label for the intended meaning. Family labels describe relationships of any age.
