Kanjis are the same for both Own and other's family, that's why I didn't rewrite them in the second table.

About husband (your, her...), it is a little bit particular. Sometimes, you can find the for "Goshuujinsama".

This is old style using by female.

It includes a notion of "lord" or "master" so it it should be a little bit abrupt or shocking.

That's why younger women prefer to use "danna".

== PRECISIONS ==
One particularity of japanese language is you'll not going to use the same vocabulary if you are talking your family or the one's other.

You also must pay attention to some words which has only one letter of difference. For example Obaasan and obasan.

Sometimes also, you simply add the suffix -san to talk someone's other relative.

Example : Musume : MY daughter // Musume-SAN : YOUR daughter

There is also some kanji combination to express relation between people.

If you want to indicate the sister is older and the brother is younger you just have to associate the right kanji 弟姉 on the right order and it's going well.

A character of the most famous Sci-Fi movie uses this sentence at a turning point:

<blockquote style="border-left:4px solid #36c">"Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. - Master Yoda." </blockquote>

He tells this to Anakin when he falls in love with queen Amidala / Padme. It is a warning, but Anakin doesn't listen.

In japanese this sentence becomes:

<blockquote style="border-left:4px solid #36c">"恐れはダークサイドに通じる。恐れは怒りに、怒りは憎しみに、憎しみは苦痛へ。"</blockquote>

<blockquote style="border-left:4px solid #36c"> Osore ha Dark Side (daaku saido) ni tsujiru. Osore ha okuri ni; okuri ha nikushimi ni, nikushimi ha kutsuu he.</blockquote>
