Yeah that's pretty much it. Family members have titles like we use "mum" or "grandma", everyone else gets name + maybe an honourific, pronouns are rare.
They put the pronouns in when they translate to English so it doesn't sound like everyone's talking in third person, but don't do the reverse with sublings! Infuriating.
Exactly! It makes so much more sense if you translate it that way in one situation to also do it in the other!
