Tips to remember the word “familia”:
– Associate it with the English word “family,” as they both share similar letters and sounds.
– The first part of ‘familia’ – “famil-” – is the key part, which directly corresponds to “famil-” in “family.”
– Think of the phrase “Mi familia,” a common Spanish expression you might hear in movies or music, emphasizing “my family.”

Explanations:
– “Familia” in Spanish refers to a group of people related by blood, marriage, or other forms of partnership, just like the English word “family.”

Other words that mean the same thing:
– Parientes: relatives
– Hogar: home (in the sense of a familial unit)
– Clan: used to refer to a larger family group or those with a common ancestor
– Casa: house, but in broader terms can refer to a family lineage or dynasty

Alternate meanings like slang:
In Spanish, “familia” doesn’t carry many alternate slang meanings. It is typically used in its traditional sense. However, in a broader context, “familia” can also refer to a group of people who are not related by blood but share a strong bond, like a group of very close friends or peers.

Examples of sentences that use “familia”:
– Mi familia es muy importante para mí.
– Este domingo vamos a tener una reunión de familia.
– Toda la familia se reunió para celebrar la Navidad.
– ¿Cómo está tu familia?
