WHAT DOES GRANDUNCLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Uncle

Uncle is a family relationship or kinship, between a person and his or her parent's brother or parent's brother-in-law. A biological uncle is a second degree relative and shares 25% genetic overlap. A great-uncle is the brother or brother-in-law of one's grandparent. Look up great-uncle in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. A woman with an equivalent relationship is an aunt, and the reciprocal relationship is that of a nephew or niece. In some cultures and families, children may refer to the cousins of their parents as "aunt" or "uncle". It is also a title of respect for elders. See fictive kinship. Also in some cultures, like Slavic or Persian cultures, no single inclusive term describing both a person's kinship to their parental male sibling or parental male in-law exists. Instead there are specific terms describing a person's kinship to their mother's brother or a person's kinship to their father's brother. An analogous differentiation exists in modern Persian using separate terms to describe a person's kinship to their mother's female sibling, and a person's kinship to their father's female sibling.
