Answer 1

Hello Bobby

Welcome to our SpanishDict learning community

You asked:

is there a idiom for ..."do you get on well with all your family?" or what is the colloquial translation.

There are two verbs that are used idiomatically to mean to get on well with people

1.Spanish-speaking natives (hispanohablantes) frequently use the verbal construction: llevarse bien = to get on well with somebody

I will give you some examples to help you better understand:

ex's:

1.Mi familia se lleva muy bien = My family get on well together.

2.Mis hermanos se llevan bien la mayoría del tiempo = My brothers/siblings get on well together most of the time.

3.¿Te llevas bien con tu familia? = Do you get on well with your family? (Your question*)

They also use the verb caer with bien:

ex's:

1.Me cae bien con él / ella = I get on well with him/her.

2.Tu me caes bien = You get on well with me

3 Me cae bien con mi familia = My family get on well together

The exact translation of your question using Feliz's expression is "¿Te llevas bien con tu familia? - Daniela2041, Sep 3, 2016

Great explanation of "llevarse". I have never heard of "caer bien con". "Él me cae bien" is similar to "Nos llevamos bien", but it´s more like "He strikes / hits me as being a good guy". You can say this about someone you have just met, "llevarse bien" - 005faa61, Sep 3, 2016

... is used when we know someone for a length of time - 005faa61, Sep 3, 2016
