Can somebody please confirm how to say "family love" in Latin....I have to correct words I believe, but don't know if they are gramatically correct. Thank you.

familia amo

I had "Prosapia Diligo"....?

Hi, Corky, dont know how you came up with your translation. Dont forget, latin was the root for most European languages and 'amore' is almost the same for 'love' in any of them. As for 'family', that is where we got it from the latin 'familia'.

I just typed it in to a Latin translation site on the net......and it came up with that. Is it incorrect??¬Or could there be more than one correct way of saying it??

Thanks for your helpful replies by the way.

What did it come up with. Your translation or mine ?

i just did a search, latin to english and your 'prosapia diligo' couldnt be found. So I guess it isnt correct, corky, if that is the one you meant.

I would go with my translation.

Thanks. So its Familia Amo.....not Amor????

Actually you both are pretty much correct. Family can be translated into:

familia OR
prosapia

Love is translated as:

amo: to love
amor: love, infatuation, passion
dilectio: love, solicitude, esteem.

Thanks J-9 for clearing that up.

Corky, if it follows a noun 'familia' it has to be 'amo' because 'amor' is directed at a lover.
