Usage Note
Sobrina is the feminine counterpart of sobrino (nephew). The plural sobrinos can refer to a mixed-gender group of nieces and nephews together, a pattern common across Spanish kinship terms. Unlike English 'niece', the word carries no ambiguity — it always denotes a female relation.
Examples
"Mi sobrina cumple diez años mañana."
Natural Translation
My niece turns ten tomorrow.
