twin daughters, we actually have two words:
two egg twins : Mellizas
one egg twins(equal twins): gemelas
Gracias Heidita!
En ingles, dice "fraternal twins", pero es mas facil dice "mellizas". Con una palabra, puedo decir todo.
Gracias para las ayudas! Estoy un poco confusa. Es la verdad - I have fraternal twin daughters. Dice "tengo mellizas" o "tengo gemelas"? O otra frase como, "Tengo hijas gemelas".
The as ending says that they are girls, but if you think you need to clarify you can add hijas
You can say "Tengo mellizas" or "Tengo gemelas" simply.
Gemelos/as and Mellizos/as are synonymous.
Gemelos/as It is considered to be the popular form, and Gemelos/as is considered the educated or technical form.
The people use the word Gemelos/as or Mellizos/as undistinctively
It is not necessary to say "Tengo hijas gemelas"
When the twins are a child and girl the masculine one is used. Tengo Gemelos/Mellizos
