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 grammatically correct. Thank you.

Hi, Corky, don't know how you came up with your translation. Don't 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.

I just did a search, latin to english and your 'prosapia diligo' couldn't be found. So I guess it isn't correct, corky, if that is the one you meant.
I would go with my translation.

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.

So, literally translated, this means "to love family."
