What is the name for my Sister-in-law's husband?

Question

My wife's sister is my cunada. I understand my sister-in-law's husband is my cuncuno. Is this true? Am I spelling it correctly?

Answer 1

I see, concuñado is a word, not so often used but...

I would have chosen angie's answers too.

!Muchísimas gracias! I just Googled "concuñado" & I see it is an actaul word too.But I'm from Puerto Rico & I've never heard it used before lol. I guess only certain countries use it. - anqieBabesz, Jan 20, 2010

I am surprised it is so uncommonly used. I think this is what I am looking for. Thanks everyone. :) - Oblaidon, Jan 20, 2010

Answer 3

I would literally say el marido de mi cuñada- the husband of my sister-in-law.

Answer 4

Your sister in law's husband could be your brother but I would expect you to know this, hehe..

My wife's sister's husband is not my brother. - Oblaidon, Jan 20, 2010

It is possible. Two sisters could marry two brothers, however, my comment was meant as a light hearted joke, hence the "hehe". - Eddy, Jan 20, 2010

jejejejm I said brother too;) - 00494d19, Jan 20, 2010

Answer 5

I was told by a Spanish major cuncuño was the correct term, yet I can't find it anywhere.

Concuñado might be what I am looking for. I noticed some words are shortened in certain Spanish speaking circles. Can I get some oppinions if this is correct?

what do you mean shortened? maybe you could put it as a question to start a thread, what do you thinK? - mediterrunio, Jan 20, 2010

No, because if Concuño answers the first question I want to know why. Is it correct? Is it formal? Is it shortened? - Oblaidon, Jan 20, 2010

it´s a regionalism - mediterrunio, Jan 20, 2010

Thanks. :) - Oblaidon, Jan 20, 2010

Just kidding, obla

cuñada is correct, he is your brother: hermano

I was going to say hermano too, but I think he meant it's his wife's sister (therefore, his sister-in-law) - anqieBabesz, Jan 20, 2010
