Questions & Answers about ¡Que aproveches las vacaciones con tu familia!
Why does this sentence start with "Que" instead of just starting with the verb?
In Spanish, starting a sentence with Que followed by a verb in the subjunctive mood (like aproveches) is a very common way to express a wish or hope for someone else. It acts as a shortcut for saying Espero que... (I hope that...). So, ¡Que aproveches...! essentially means "I hope that you make the most of...!"
Why use "aproveches" here? Wouldn't "disfrutes" be the word for "enjoy"?
Why is "vacaciones" plural when the English translation says "the vacation"?
In Spanish, the word for "vacation" is almost always used in its plural form: las vacaciones. Even if you are talking about one single trip or one specific period of time off, you must use the plural noun and plural articles.
Since a family has many people in it, why is it "tu familia" and not "tus familia"?
Even though a family contains multiple people, the word familia itself is a singular noun (it represents one single group). Because words like tu (your) have to match whether the noun they are attached to is singular or plural, we use the singular tu to match the singular word familia.
