"Η οικογένεια του δεν είναι εδώ."

Translation: His family is not here.

[pdog11]

Both 'are' and 'is' should be accepted in this context. Without additional information, it can both be read as:

"his family members are not here"

and

"his entire family isn't here".

Yes, thank you "are not" and "aren't" have been added.

[desjeux]

Shouldn't it be "Η οικογένειά του" ?

[troll1995]

Yes, it should. It's a mistake that was done and as long as we are in beta, we cannot change the original sentences. We'll correct them after we graduate from beta..

Η οικογένειά του. Do you stress both syllables or just the 'γέ'? And I've forgot why we use the acute at the end of the word. Is it due to the pronoun?

[jaye16]

Yes, you just slightly stress the two syllables with accents. And yes, again, it's to make the sound better so you don't stop before "του" it's like one long word..."οικογένειά του".

[Francesconian]

Yeah, I've noticed Greeks link everything while speaking, they somewhat don't pause just like us. It's sorta weird and difficult to get the pronoun while listening to a sentence since there is no pause between the noun and the pronoun. Ευχαριστώ πολύ

Your comment is very interesting I always thought English was difficult for that reason. The audio is computer generated (TTS) but it's not too bad.

Here is a very good link where you can hear native Greek speakers.
