Adjective

verwandt (strong nominative masculine singular verwandter, comparative verwandter, superlative am verwandtesten)

  1. related (connected by blood, adoption, or marriage)

  2. related (standing in relation or connection)

Usage notes
  • In a narrower sense verwandt includes relatives by blood and adoption, their spouses and one’s own spouse—but not other “in-laws”. The latter are then specified with the adjective verschwägert (“related by marriage”).
  • An even narrower sense is blutsverwandt (“related by blood”).
