Questions & Answers about kazoku minna de ryokou no shashin o mimashita.

Why is there no particle after 家族?

In 家族みんなで, 家族 directly modifies みんな, so the two words work together as one chunk:

• 家族みんな = the whole family / everyone in the family
• 家族みんなで = with the whole family together / all together as a family

So this is not really 家族 standing alone and missing a particle. It is part of the expression 家族みんな.

You can think of it like:

• クラスみんな = everyone in the class
• 店のみんな = everyone at the shop

Japanese often lets one noun directly narrow or identify another noun like this.

What does みんなで mean here?

みんなで means all together or everyone together.

The particle で here shows the group involved in doing the action together.

So:

• みんなで食べました = We all ate together.
• みんなで行きました = We all went together.
• 家族みんなで見ました = The whole family watched/looked at it together.

In this sentence, で does not mean location. It means something like as a group.

Why use both 家族 and みんな? Doesn’t みんな already mean everyone?
