Using Formal and Informal Pronouns in the Family
Some very conservative families might still use

sometimes practiced in families of nobility or exterritorial cultural islands in which older German 
customs have survived. However, using "Sie" feels very outdated to the vast majority of people. In 
practically every family all members use 
du
with each other.

Nice Nett
Mean Unfreundlich
Pretty Schön
Ugly Häßlich
Intelligent Intelligent, Denkfähig
Unintelligent Unintelligent, Dumm
Interesting Interessant
Boring Langweilig
Active Rührig
Lazy Faul
Funny Komisch
Serious Ernsthaft
Strong Kräftig
Weak Schwach
Odd Eigenartig
Talented Begabt
Untalented Unbegabt
Bossy Rechthaberisch
Passive Untätig
Old Alt
Young Jung
Fat Fett
Skinny Dünn
Tall Groß

are:
