Bus/Financial - Insurance / Umbrella policy | | Italian term or phrase: affine | • il coniuge, i genitori, i figli dell’Assicurato, nonchè qualsiasi altro parente od affine con lui convivente;
persons covered. affine...for now I have put "related person". I think a different word would have been used to mean dependants. In my opinion, parente covers this. Any additional insight as to the difference in Italian between affine and parente greatly appreciated. |

| Clarification request(s) and responsebeatbeat: 3:37pm Nov 9, 2006: Secondo me o sei parente o non lo sei, quindi "affine" è sbagliato qui. Io per "parente o affine con lui convivente" metterei semplicemente "parente o altra persona con lui convivente".
pcjohnz: 3:40pm Nov 9, 2006: what you suggest makes sense but this would mean a roommate is also covered by the policy (a company policy on behalf or workers)
beatbeat: 3:42pm Nov 9, 2006: Scusa, ho verificato, a livello giuridico è come propone sotto silvia b.: parente acquisito di un coniuge rispetto all’altro coniuge, ad es. il cognato o il suocero; estens., parente. Non lo sapevo.

Hi Paul,
The difference between "parente" and "Affine" is that a "parente" is someone you are directly related to whereas an "affine" is someone you are related to by marriage.

dir., parente acquisito di un coniuge rispetto all’altro coniuge, ad es. il cognato o il suocero; estens., parente

esattamente, Paul:
consanguinei vs. affini/parenti acquisiti
nel linguaggio comune per parenti si intendono anche i "parenti acquisiti", ma in un'assicurazione e' necessario che non ci sia ambiguita'.

Asker: relative by blood (parente) or by marriage (affine)?
Asker: obviously my question is not about the final wording but the concept
