kleinniggie Explanation: Family words can have multiple meanings in Afrikaans. The PAEEA dictionary says: the word "niggie" can mean both niece and cousin, the word "kleinniggie" can mean both second cousin and grand niece, and the word "agterkleinniggie" can mean third cousin, first cousin twice removed and great grand niece. However, where I'm from, "kleinniggie" is used mostly for niece, so I would use "agterkleinniggie" for grand niece, even though the dictionary doesn't say so. |
