When talking about your relatives in Chinese, the most direct word to use is 亲属 (qīnshǔ). This term refers to all your blood relations and those connected by marriage. It's a formal and comprehensive way to say "relatives" or "kinsfolk."
For example, if you're filling out a form that asks for information about your relatives, 亲属 is the word you'd likely see. While there are more casual ways to refer to specific family members, 亲属 is your go-to for the general concept of one's extended family.
