What is the Yiddish word for relative?

The Yiddish word for "relative" is פֿאַמיליע (pronounced "familiye").

However, it's important to note that "familiye" can refer to both family and relatives. For a more specific translation of "relative" depending on the context, you can use the following:

* קרובֿ (krov) - close relative

* משפחה (mishpokhe) - family, but can also be used for relatives

* שטיף (shtef) - relative through marriage

* און אַלץ וואָס געהערט צו דער משפחה (un altz vos geherts tsu der mishpokhe) - a more colloquial way to say "all relatives"

The best translation will depend on the specific context and the relationship between the people involved.
