'Familienmensch' (family-oriented person) is made up of 'Familie' (family) and 'Mensch' (person). The first component describes what the person is especially strongly focused on.

The word frequently occurs with 'sein' (to be) and a more detailed description of the person. Intensifiers such as 'ein echter' (a real) or 'ein ausgesprochener' (a pronounced) Familienmensch are also typical.

Common collocations are 'ein echter Familienmensch' (a real family-oriented person), 'ein großer Familienmensch' (a very family-oriented person), and 'als Familienmensch' (as a family-oriented person). This is often followed by a statement about shared activities or the importance of family.
