"Mi havas du avojn."

Translation: I have two grandfathers.

[johmue]

Because "avo" is grandfather. Grandparents is "geavoj" using the "ge-" prefix to specify "both genders". So "I have to grandparents." would be "Mi havas du geavojn."

[shanigruman]

ah. Dankon :)

[Orangus]

x1 father of your mom, and x1 father of your dad.

[ScottBoggs3]

Or maybe your mom had two dads :p

[AngeloBulf]

That still leaves the problem of people who don't identify as either gender, or if you just don't know their gender.

"both genders"
There are more than 2.

[Rae.F]

What the other person meant to say is that the "ge-" prefix makes the word gender neutral.

TRIVIA: Blade in Esperanto is "klingo", which in accusative is Klingon :D

[Aspavientos]

Mi ŝatas la klingon! :D

[Mandosto]

Nice catch!

[homo_bulla]

Apart from avus(Latin), are there words related to "avo" in other languages?

[vampn1]

Probably languages derived from Latin, like "avô" in Portuguese

[PeterusAgustus]

In Spanish they say "Abuelo" and "Abuela". To make them more endearing you can take out the -o or -a and replace it with "-ito/ita"

[Agachi]

Also in Romanian the word "auș" (pronounced /auŝ/) was used until recently.

[ElMeuNom]

Catalan has the word "avi" for grandfather and "àvia" for grandmother.

[ianzarife]

Portuguese: Avô (grandfather) and Avó (grandmother)

[Rae.F]

I started Portuguese but I haven't gotten very far. What's the difference in pronunciation between the two, and how easy is it in conversation to tell them apart?

[shanigruman]

Why is "two grandparents" not correct?

[Pokachu]

I believe (according to my knowledge) that you would have to add the prefix 'ge-' to avoj to make it gender neutral.

Can we get a second opinion?

[_Feanor]

This is correct

[Banhmichuyenngu]

What is the word for "grandmother"?

[Rae.F]

avo = grandfather
avino = grandmother

It's like boy and girl.
boy = knabo
girl = knabino

[Andrew2569]

And almost anything else:
Patro; patrino
Viro; virino
Etc.

[Banhmichuyenngu]

Dankon!

[Simon_S.]

Mia du avoj mortis antaŭ mia naskiĝo :(

[Rae.F]

Mi bedaŭras aŭdi, ke viaj avoj mortis.

"Everyone's entitled to two, aren't they?" --Paul

[Rae.F]

"That's not your grandfather. I've met your grandfather. He lives in your house."

"Well, everybody's entitled to two, aren't they? And this is my other one."

[LJijieshvili]

I have none :'(

[Cari627796]

Me either :'(

[Volohoc]

[davi.alexandre]
