Answer 2

I can see why you'd be confused. If you use the handy click-on-a-word dictionary here on SpanishDict the translation is incorrect.

For example, if you click on the word "suegra" it translates it to "mother." If you click on the word "yerno" you'll get "son."

The real translations are:

Suegra = mother-in-law

Yerno = son-in-law

I would assume that the guión made it truncate the answers. - 0074b507, Feb 8, 2010
