Nephew: your sibling's son (from your brother or sister); sibling: your brother or sister (from your parents).

Is a step sister the same as a half sister?

Half-brother/Half Sister:You and your Half-Sibling have a common mother OR father (but not both, obviously). Hence you share a biological and social relationship with your half sibling.Step-brother/Step-sister:You are not related to your Step-Sibling in a biological way. Your mother/father is married to one of the Step-Sibling's parents and this is the basis of this social relationship.(A Half-Sibling shares one parent biologically; a Step-Sibling is by virtue of one parent each entering a marriage, with no blood relation.Your Step brother/sister is already a child of your parent's new partner.Your Half brother is a new child born to your parent and the spouce. )EXAMPLE :(Note children - John, Chris, Betty - are in italics for simplicity)Jack and Jill were married and they have a son John.Charles and Cynthia were married and they have a son Chris.Now both couples got separated and then, Jack married Cynthia and entered in their marriage as guardians of John and Chris. So now John and Chris are Step-Brothers (by virtue of the marriage... note John and Chris are not related biologically).Later on, Jack and Cynthia have a daughter of their own, Betty.Now Betty is a half-sister to John (since they have a common biological parent... their father Jack)Also, Betty is a half-sister to Chris (since they have a common biological parent... their Mother Cynthia)
