Notas de uso
- Italian does not strictly distinguish 'stepsister' and 'half-sister'; both are 'sorellastra'.
- The suffix '-astra' can carry a slightly negative or distant connotation.
- Unlike basic kinship terms, altered kinship nouns like 'sorellastra' require the definite article with possessives ('la mia sorellastra').
