Hi Pia, do you think that "for yourself" is really necessary?

well, in Portuguese it would be "amigos são a família que você mesmo escolhe" but I, personally, think it works fine in English without the "for yourself".

That's the way I interpret it Lilian, but since I'm not native ...I think you do right to ask Anita

if you were to put the "selv" part in the text, I think it should go:

"Friends are the family you yourself choose"

Yes, but that structure doesn't sound natural in English with the verb "choose"

I was thinking about this quotation. But I'm might wrong and as Anita said, it's fine. You have many positive votes here.

based on the link Pia sent, I tend to agree with her (sorry for being so irresolute... what can I say, I guess I'm just open to solid arguments )

I think it's quite different saying:
"...que você mesmo escolhe" (you, yourself, choose) and "...que você escolhe para si (você mesmo)" (you choose for yourself)

What do you think conveys the original meaning better?

I still believe the version "Friends are the family you choose for yourself" conveys the meaning best (I have also asked one of my private life English-Danish experts and she agrees with this version)
