Großneffe

Großneffe is a German term that translates to "great-nephew" in English. It refers to the son of one's niece or nephew. In German family terminology, the term is used to describe the relationship between an individual and their great-nephews, who are the children of their nieces or nephews.

The term "Großneffe" is derived from the combination of "Groß-," which means "great," and "Neffe," which means "nephew." This distinction is important in German family language, as it helps to clarify the specific degree of relationship.

This term is used to avoid confusion with the more immediate relationships of niece and nephew, as well as the more distant relationships of cousins.
