Usage notes

 * There is no distinction between "grandchild", "nephew" and "niece". For foreign speakers, the age of the person in question could be a clue to the exact status of the cháu they're talking about. For instance, someone young or middle-aged is more likely to have a niece or a nephew than a grandchild. That said, there's also the possibility a young person may have a distant cousin whom they call their "grandchild".
