parent of your mother or father

The father or mother of your mother or father.

نمط الاستخدام: [someone] is the grandparent of [someone]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "grandparent" with "grandfather" and "grandmother". "Grandparent" is gender-neutral and can mean either the grandfather or grandmother. Another common mistake is using "grandparent" when talking about two people; in that case, the correct word is the plural "grandparents" (e.g., "My grandparents live in Italy," not "My grandparent live in Italy").
المرادفات
grandmother (Specifically a female grandparent; gender-specific rather than gender-neutral.) | grandfather (Specifically a male grandparent; gender-specific rather than gender-neutral.) | ancestor (More general; any relative from earlier generations, not only the parents of your parents.)
الأضداد
grandchild (Refers to the younger generation, the child of your child, which is the reverse relationship of a grandparent.) | descendant (General opposite direction in a family tree, referring to those who come after rather than before you.)
