How to Say ‘How is your family?’ in French
Comment va ta famille ?
koh-mahn vah tah fah-mee
[koh-mahn vah tah fah-mee]
💬 Usage Tip: [Famille] is singular, so French says [Comment va ta famille ?] not a plural verb. You can reuse that with other group words: [Comment va l'équipe ?]
🇫🇷 In France: This is a natural follow-up question in family conversation. If you use [ta], it sounds familiar; [votre famille] makes it more polite.
