What Is The Tagalog Translation Of “Niece”? (Answers)
NIECE IN TAGALOG – In this article, we will discover what the Tagalog translation of the word Niece is and some examples.
In Tagalog, niece can be translated as “Pamangkin”. However, the word is both used to describe both niece and nephew.
In Tagalog, you need to denote the gender of the person to know whether or not you mean the niece or the nephew.
Example:
- Pamangking lalaki
- Pamangking babae
Lalaki which means “male” and babae which means female are needed to be placed to specify the gender of the person you are referring to.
But, oftentimes, you don’t need to place those words in a sentence if the name of the person is obviously meant for a specific gender.
For example:
“Si Jenny ay aking pamankin“. In English, this is translated as “Jenny is my niece”. Although we could still use the word “babae” at the end of the sentence, it would just make it redundant.
However, there are situations where the name of a person could be gender-neutral. Take the name Kim, which could be used for girls and boys.
Here, we need to use the word “lalaki” to specify gender. For example: “Si Kim ay ang pamangkin kong babae”.
Here are some more examples:
- Sino ba sa kanila ang pamangkin mo?
- Which one of them is your niece/nephew?
- Meron akong pamangking babae na kasing edad mo ngayon.
- I have a niece that is about the same age as you are now.
- Ang pamangkin kong si Peter ay nasa kolehiyo na ngayon.
- My Nephew, Peter is in college right now.
