Adjective
[edit]verwandt (strong nominative masculine singular verwandter, comparative verwandter, superlative am verwandtesten)

Usage notes
[edit]- 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”).
