SanBa_GIRL Posted May 18, 2010 at 12:34 AM Report Posted May 18, 2010 at 12:34 AM How do I say "MY WHOLE FAMILY LIKES TO EAT CHINESE FOOD"? THANK YOU AND FOREVER SAN BA GIRL Quote
zjsh Posted May 18, 2010 at 03:08 AM Report Posted May 18, 2010 at 03:08 AM usually ,as native speaker,we say :我们全家人都喜欢吃中国菜 or to be more brief :我们全家都喜欢吃中国菜.And In this scenario ,it's rare to add the 的 between 家 and 人 ,it sounds wordy and strangge ,just not natural. Quote
Don_Horhe Posted May 18, 2010 at 06:43 AM Report Posted May 18, 2010 at 06:43 AM You're right, when I read it out loud to myself it does sound a bit off. Quote
GreenArrow45 Posted May 18, 2010 at 07:11 AM Report Posted May 18, 2010 at 07:11 AM is this for a tattoo? Quote
Kenny同志 Posted May 18, 2010 at 10:18 AM Report Posted May 18, 2010 at 10:18 AM Another possible version 我们一家子都喜欢吃中国菜。 Quote
Shi Tong Posted May 18, 2010 at 11:10 AM Report Posted May 18, 2010 at 11:10 AM Isn't 一家人 also acceptable? Quote
Kenny同志 Posted May 18, 2010 at 11:21 AM Report Posted May 18, 2010 at 11:21 AM Isn't 一家人 also acceptable? Yes, it is. Both 一家人 and 一家子 are okay, with 一家子 being more colloquial. Quote
Shi Tong Posted May 18, 2010 at 01:33 PM Report Posted May 18, 2010 at 01:33 PM ooh right.. I've not heard 一家子 before. Seems like there are lots of ways of saying "my whole family". hahaha ;) Quote
