der Enkel, der Enkelsohn Explanation: "Enkel" can mean both "grandson" or, more generally, "grandchild". "Enkelsohn" is more specific, meaning "grandson". |

Enkel Explanation: I agree with the first answerer.............but Enkel is in Singular always a son!!! Just Enkel..........this would be ok!It would be more natural.......nobody in Germany would say Enkelsohn! Native German/studying Danish/German/English at the University of Southern Denmark |

Enkel, ENkelsohn, Enkelkind Explanation: "Enkel" is probably commonly used. However, I've got a German "Opa" who usually refers to me as his "Enkelsohn". Maybe it's a generational thing? But I agree that if you want to be reaaaaly precise, then you should use "Enkelsohn", if not, "Enkel" will do. am an Enkel(sohn) myself |
