The Hungarian words for brothers and sisters are differentiated based upon relative age. There is also a general word for "sibling": {{Lang|hu|testvér}}, from {{Lang|hu|test}} "body" and {{Lang|hu|vér}} "blood"; i.e., originating from the same body and blood.
{| class="wikitable"
! || younger || elder || unspecified{{br}}relative age
|-
! brother
| {{Lang|hu|öcs}}<!--yes, it's written as "öcs", not "öccs"--> || {{Lang|hu|báty}}<!-- it is written as "báty", not "bátya" --> || {{Lang|hu|fivér}} or{{br}}{{Lang|hu|fiútestvér}}
|-
! sister
| {{Lang|hu|húg}} || {{Lang|hu|nővér}}{{br}} {{Lang|hu|néne}} (archaic) || {{Lang|hu|nővér}} or{{br}}{{Lang|hu|lánytestvér}}
|-
! sibling
| {{Lang|hu|kistestvér}} || ({{Lang|hu|nagytestvér}}) || {{Lang|hu|testvér}}
|}

(There used to be a separate word for "elder sister", {{Lang|hu|néne}},<!-- NEM NÉNI, HANEM NÉNE, E-VEL--> but it has become obsolete [except to mean "aunt" in some dialects] and has been replaced by the generic word for "sister".)

In addition, there are separate prefixes for several ancestors and descendants:

{| class="wikitable"
!parent||grandparent||great-{{br}}grandparent||great-great-<br />grandparent||great-great-great-{{br}}grandparent||great-great-great-great-<br />grandparent
|-
||''szülő''||''nagyszülő''||''déd(nagy)szülő''||''ük(nagy)szülő''||''szép(nagy)szülő''{{br}}(OR ''ük-ük(nagy)szülő'')
|''ó(nagy)szülő''<br />(OR ''ük-ük-ük(nagy)szülő)''
|-
!child||grandchild||great-{{br}}grandchild||great-great-{{br}}grandchild||great-great-great-{{br}}grandchild||great-great-great-great-{{br}}grandchild
|-
|''gyerek''||''unoka''||''dédunoka''||''ükunoka''||''szépunoka''{{br}}(OR ''ük-ükunoka'')
|''óunoka''{{br}}(OR ''ük-ük-ükunoka'')
|}

The words for "boy" and "girl" are applied with possessive suffixes. Nevertheless, the terms are differentiated with different declension or lexemes:

{| class="wikitable"
! || boy/girl || (his/her){{br}}son/daughter || (his/her){{br}}lover, partner
|-
! male
| {{Lang|hu|fiú}} || {{Lang|hu|fia}} || {{Lang|hu|fiúja}}/{{Lang|hu|barátja}}
|-
! female
| {{Lang|hu|lány}} || {{Lang|hu|lánya}} || {{Lang|hu|barátnője}}
|}

{{Lang|hu|Fia}} is only used in this, irregular possessive form; it has no nominative on its own (see [[inalienable possession]]). However, the word {{Lang|hu|fiú}} can also take the regular suffix, in which case the resulting word ({{Lang|hu|fiúja}}) will refer to a lover or partner (boyfriend), rather than a male offspring.

The word {{Lang|hu|fiú}} (boy) is also often noted as an extreme example of the ability of the language to add suffixes to a word, by forming {{Lang|hu|fiaiéi}}, adding vowel-form suffixes only, where the result is quite a frequently used word:

{|class="wikitable"
| {{Lang|hu|fiú}} || boy
|-
| {{Lang|hu|fia}} || his/her son
|-
| {{Lang|hu|fiai}} || his/her sons
|-
| {{Lang|hu|fiáé}} || his/her son's (singular object)
|-
| {{Lang|hu|fiáéi}} || his/her son's (plural object)
|-
| {{Lang|hu|fiaié}} || his/her sons' (singular object)
|-
| {{Lang|hu|fiaiéi}} || his/her sons' (plural object)
|}
