Lei è la figlia di mio figlio. È mia nipote.

English Translation

She’s my son’s daughter. She’s my granddaughter.

So nipote can be grandaughter or grandson or nephew or niece? This must make for some confusion at family gatherings. Are there other words that distinguish between these meanings?

How about *nipotina for granddaughter, *la pronipote for grandnephew/daughter. Thanks for asking this question, Relationships, something I hadn’t really thought about. I just relied on mia and mio.
