Koji bi bio najelegantniji i sveobuhvatniji prijevod? Možda "svojta", ali je to širi pojam.Braća i sestre po braku? Hvala!

polubraća/polusestre


Explanation:
Siblings su braća i sestre, a kada otac ili majka uđe u brak a djecom iz prethodnog braka tada se ta djeca zovu polubraćom/polusestrama.

Srdačno!

agree  BUZOV: s tim da polubraća/polusestre moraju imati barem JEDNOGA ZAJEDNIČKOG roditelja da bi bili polubraća ... inače, djeca žene koju oženim meni su PASTORČAD (1Pastorak) moja djeca su toj ženi isto PASTORCI, a kak su djeca međusobno, e ne znam imamo li izraz

pobraća


Explanation:
Luce ima 2 djece iz prvoga braka, kćer i sina
Marko ima 2 djece iz prvoga braka, sina i kćer

Luce se uda za marka.

Luce je Markovoj djeci - MAĆEHA ili POMAJKA
Marko je Lucinoj djeci - OČUH ili POOČIM

Markova djeca su Luci - POKĆERKA i POSINAK ili PASTORCI
Lucina djeca su Marku - POSINAK i POKĆERKA ili PASTORCI.

Dakle bi, po gornjoj paraleli, ta djeca mđusobno morala biti POBRAĆA !

-------------
Ne POLUBRAĆA ... jer tek kad i ako Luce i Marko dobiju zajedničko dijete, ono će biti polubrat/polusestra za onih prethodnih 2 + 2.
Ali ta 2 + 2 djeca iz porethodnih brakova nisu polubraća jer nemaju zajedničkoga barem jednoga roditelja...
--------------
Isto ne POBRATIM ili POSESTRIMA ... jer je to oznaka za "dogovorno bratstvo punoljetnih"...
Ili ipak MOŽE i u ovom slučaju ... No, ako je primjenjivo POBRATIM/POSESTRIMA, bilo ovdje bilo "po dogovoru punoljetnih" , onda je prihvatljivo i POBRAĆA (koliko god to i meni samom u ovom času pomalo čudno zvuči)...

Trudismo se ...
