How would you say "the ___ family"?


So in English, we might talk about a family by saying (for example) "the
Johnson family" or "the Johnsons." Is there an equivalent you use in Japanese?
And would you use the same language when talking to a member of the family
you're referring to and when talking about that family to a third party?

Thanks!




Let us suppose the family name is [山田]{やまだ}.

Most commonly, we would say:

> 「山田[家]{け}」 ← 「家」 is read 「 **け** 」 for this usage.
>
> 「山田[一家]{いっか}」

**_Formally_** , we could say:

> 「山田[一族]{いちぞく}」

「一族」is not an everyday word. It could sound too dramatic or theatrical if used
in a casual convo.

> "And would you use the same language when talking to a member of the family
> you're referring to and when talking about that family to a third party?"

The same phrase can be used on both occasions.
