Grammar fix
family tradition
custom
A regular activity, habit, or celebration that a family does together and passes down from one generation to the next.
Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
Every December, our family tradition is to bake cookies together and decorate the house.
One important family tradition in my country is having a big dinner together during the Lunar New Year. It brings everyone closer and helps us remember our roots.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: It's a family tradition since many years.
Say: It's a family tradition going back years.
Not 'since many years' — say 'going back years' or 'for years'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Custom observed by our kin' is stiff; 'family tradition' is the everyday phrase.
