Questions & Answers about gyouza to yakisoba wa, kazoku minna ga suki nanode, shukujitsu ni yoku tsukurimasu.

Why is は used after 餃子と焼きそば?

は marks the topic of the sentence: what the sentence is about.

So 餃子と焼きそばは means as for gyoza and yakisoba.

The speaker is setting up those foods as the topic, and then saying something about them:
家族みんなが好きなので、祝日に よく 作ります
= since everyone in the family likes them, we/I often make them on holidays

Using は here also helps explain why there is no を later with 作ります.

Why is が used after 家族みんな?

Here, 家族みんな is the group that does the liking, so が marks it as the subject of 好き.

• 家族みんなが好き = everyone in the family likes it/them

A useful way to think about it is:

• 餃子と焼きそばは = topic, as for gyoza and yakisoba
• 家族みんなが好き = everyone in the family likes them

So は and が are doing different jobs here.

What exactly does 家族みんな mean?

家族みんな means the whole family or everyone in the family.

• 家族 = family
• みんな = everyone / all

Together, it means that all the family members like those foods.

You can think of it as a natural spoken way to say:

• 家族のみんな = everyone in the family

Both are understandable, but 家族みんな sounds very natural and common.
