Das ist die Tochter von deinem Bruder oder deiner Schwester.
The German word "Nichte" is a noun that means "niece," referring to the daughter of one's sibling. It is derived from the Proto-Germanic word *nihtwō, which is related to the concept of family and kinship.
Similar words in German include "Neffe" (nephew), which refers to the son of one's sibling. The primary difference between "Nichte" and "Neffe" lies in their gender-specific reference: "Nichte" indicates a female relative, while "Neffe" indicates a male relative.
