"O nepoată vrea o portocală."

Translation: A niece wants an orange.

Granddaughter and niece are the same word?

Looks like it. It's the same in Italian – all Latin's fault, nepos meant grandson, nephew, granddaughter and niece... Other Romance languages have evolved their own words to distinguish between the two concepts but Romanian and Italian haven't.

[R.I.A.P]

yes

Shouldn't it be 'an' orange instead of 'one'?

I used "an orange"; accepted per DL (Feb. 11, 2019).

Okay, so how do you tell the difference between when someone is referring to a granddaughter or a niece? Just context clues, or what?

[lufloidio]

Yes, only the context
