What is 'family first' in Italian?

Answer 1

Prima la famiglia is an Italian equivalent of 'family first'. In the word by word translation, the feminine adjective 'prima' means 'first'. The feminine definite article 'la' means 'the'. The feminine gender noun 'famiglia'means 'family'. The phrase is pronounced 'PREE-mah lah fah-MEE-lyah'.

Answer 2

Tu e [la] tua famiglia is an Italian equivalent of 'you and your family'. The subject pronoun 'tu' means '[informal singular] you'. The conjunction 'e' means 'and'. The feminine definite article 'la'means 'the'. It doesn't have to be used, because it's followed by a possessive. The feminine noun 'famiglia' means 'family'. All together, they're pronounced 'too eh [lah] TOO-ah fah-MEE-lyah'.

That's just one of a total of four ways in which 'you and your family' may be said in Italian. There's also the informal plural 'you all'. Its use is 'Voi e [la] vostrafamiglia'. It's pronounced 'voy eh [lah] VOH-strah fah-MEE-lyah'.

The two examples above are what's said to one listener [example 1] or more than one listener [example 2] that are part of the speaker's close circle of family, friends and peers.

The third and fourth examples deal with what's said to a person or persons senior in age or position or not part of the speaker's close familial and friendly circle. It's a case of the formal singular 'you' and its plural 'you all'. The singular is 'Lei e [la] sua famiglia'. It's pronounced 'leh eh [lah] SOO-ah fah-MEE-lyah'. The plural is 'Loro e [la] sua famiglia'. It's pronounced 'LOH-roh eh [lah] SOO-ah fah-MEE-lyah'.

Answer 3

Come sta la famiglia is an Italian equivalent of 'How is the family'. The phrase is pronounced 'KOH-may stah lah fah-MEE-lyah'. The adverb 'come' means 'how'. The verb 'sta' means '[he/she/it] is'. The feminine definite article 'la' means 'the'. The feminine gender noun 'famiglia'means 'family'.

Answer 4

Come sta la tua famiglia?" is an Italian equivalent of the English phrase "How is your family?"

Specifically, the adverb come means "how." The verb sta means "(He/she/it) does remain/stay, is, is remaning/staying, remains/stay, (formal singular you) are, are remaining/staying, do remain/stay, remain/stay." The feminine definite article la means "the." The feminine possessive adjective tua means "(informal singular) your." The feminine noun famiglia means "family."

The pronunciation is "KOH-meh stah lah TOO-ah fah-MEE-lyah."

Answer 5

Ciao alla famiglia! is an Italian equivalent of the English phrase "Hello, family!" The interjection, combined preposition and feminine singular definite article, and feminine singular noun translate literally into English as "Hi to the family!" The pronunciation will be "TCHOW fa-MEE-lya" in Italian.
