The differences of in "nephew" and "niece" between Chinese and English

There are two "nephews" (侄子 and 外甥) and two "nieces" (侄女 and 外甥女) in China.

We call the kids children ("Children" 比 "kids" 更正式。) who are from the female relatives 外甥 or 外甥女; such as for instance, your sisters' kids children are your 外甥 or 外甥女。

otherwise,If the kids children are from the male relatives, they are called 侄子 or 侄女; such as for instance, your brothers' kids children are your 侄子 or 侄女。

Interesting, right?
