喪そう家か

noun

family in mourning; bereaved family

Refers to a household that has recently lost a member and is observing mourning customs. The 'homeless' gloss is a rare, archaic or literary extension; modern Japanese uses ホームレス or 家のない for homelessness.

• 喪そう家かでは、しばらくの間あいだ、派は手でな行ぎょう事じを控ひかえる。

  A family in mourning refrains from festive events for a while.

• 近きん所じょの喪そう家かに弔ちょう問もんに行いった。

  I went to offer condolences to the bereaved family in the neighborhood.
