家族が勢揃い (all family members present)

Grammar & Usage

fixed expression

neutral

How it works

This expression uses the noun 家族 (kazoku, family) followed by the subject particle が (ga), and then the noun/suru-verb 勢揃い (seizoroi, full assembly/all present). It describes a situation where all members of a group, specifically the family in this case, are gathered together. While 勢揃い itself can be a noun or the stem of a suru-verb (勢揃いする), in this context, it often functions adjectivally or as the predicate indicating the state of being all present.

Sample sentences

お正月には、毎年実家に家族が勢揃いします。

彼の結婚式には、遠方からも家族が勢揃いした。

The whole family gathered after a long time, and we had a wonderful time.

Quick facts
