In Chinese, there are several terms to refer to an elder person, each with its nuances. Below are some alternatives along with their explanations:
1. 老年人 (lǎo nián rén) - This term directly translates to "elderly person" and is often used in formal contexts. It emphasizes the age of the person.
2. 长辈 (zhǎng bèi) - This term means "elder" or "senior" and is often used to refer to someone older in a familial or respectful context. It indicates a position of respect in relation to age.
3. 老人 (lǎo rén) - This is a straightforward way to refer to an "old person." It can be used in a neutral context but may lack the respectful connotation of other terms.
4. 老者 (lǎo zhě) - This term means "old person" or "elder" and is a more formal way to refer to someone who is elderly. It is often seen in literary or formal contexts.

Yes, 老人家 (lǎo rén jiā) can be used to refer to a group of elders. It is a polite and respectful term that can be used to address or refer to a group of older people, usually those who are in their senior years. It can also be used to refer to one's own grandparents or elderly relatives.
Other similar terms that can be used to refer to a group of elders include 老年人 (lǎo nián rén), which means "senior citizens" or "older people", and 长者 (zhǎng zhě), which means "elderly" or "senior". However, these terms may not carry the same level of warmth and respect as 老人家 (lǎo rén jiā).
