That is a Yiddish word borrowed from Hebrew. In Yiddish it refers to a persons' child's in-laws. (There is no such English word for this relationship). For example, your daughter's mother-in-law and father-in-law would be your machatunim.

This word comes from the Hebrew word מחותנים (meh-khoo-tah-neem), which means "married ones."
