Correct.

Do you manage this then, without google:

Grand uncle, for example your paternal grandfather's brother? :smile:

Not quite.

We call him..grand-onkel.:smile:
 
Onkelfar! :biggrin:

But I got to say this, my life would be nothing without Google translate... And a bit of luck :biggrin:


Btw, that's how the Egyptian people call their uncle 'Onkel'. :smile:
 
Phonetically..."Grahm-maw"

Also, my grandfather (fellow in the photograph hugging my grandmother) we simply referred to as "Cran"--on account of my brother (the oldest) could not pronounce Grandfather. It just stuck that way.
