Turkish

Noun

yeğen

  1. nibling (nephew or niece)

Usage notes

There is no distinction between nephew and niece in Turkish.

Gender is specifically indicated if a distinction is necessary; erkek yeğen (literally boy/man nibling) means “nephew” and kız yeğen (literally girl nibling) means “niece”.
