    Wink Steprelatives

    Hi, everybody.

    I was wondering if you could help me translate the term STEPRELATIVES into Spanish.

    I happened to come across "parientes por afinidad", but this translation is certainly incorrect from the legal point of view.

    The people referred to by this Spanish expression is definitely wider than the one in English.

    Thanks in advance,

    Amelia

    Estoy investigando, pero... provisionalmente puede ayudarte: "parientes lejanos"

    Dear David,

    Thank you for your email. The meaning of this term is crystal clear, the problem is that there seems to be no exact translation.

    Let's go on thinking!

    Thanks

    You´re right... it´s similar to translate "concuño" and "comadre"...

    Step- indicates connection beween members of a family by the remarriage of a parent and not by blood. We use the terms padrastro, madrastra, hijastro, hijastra, hermanastro, hermanastra, etc, so I imagine step-relative could refer to any of them. I don't know an equivalent in Spanish

    Good luck

    If there is a Seminar on difficult legal words to translate, this should definitely be one!!

    Thank you all for finding the best word for "parientes teminados en -astro, como hijastro, hijastra, padrastro, madrastra, hermanastro, hermanastra".

    Smile Steprelatives

    Yes, you are right. All these words include the concept of "steprelatives", but the problem is that "steprelatives" is more specific than "parientes políticos" or "parientes por afinidad".

    Imagine a context where the steprelatives will inherit a land...

    You have to be very specific.
