nichte

Niece.

In a sentence

  • Meine Nichte ist sehr kreativ.

    My niece is very creative.

    Nichte is used here to mean 'niece', indicating a female child of one's sibling.

  • Der Grund für das Scheitern war nicht einfach zu finden.

    The reason for the failure was not easy to find.

    Here, 'nicht' appears as an adverb meaning 'not', used to negate the quality of finding the reason. 'Nichte' would not be applicable as the sentence does not involve the noun 'niece'.

  • Sie ist eine junge Nichte.

    She is a young niece.

    In this example, 'Nichte' describes a specific person, emphasizing the relation as the daughter of one's sibling, combined with the adjective 'junge' (young).
