These are the translations (English, with Kanji, just Hiragana and Katakana, Romanji) used in the video.

"My younger sister is not allowed to go to the market."

は市場に行くことが許されていません

いもうとはいちばにいくことがゆるされていません

Imouto wa ichiba ni iku koto ga yurusareteimasen.

"She is like a younger sister to me."

彼女は私にとって 妹分

かのじょはわたしにとっていもうとぶんだ

Kanojo wa watashi ni totte imoutobun da.
