Grandparent
Family Connection
Use 'grandparent' to express a lineage or family tie, indicating respect and affection for elder family members.

My grandparents shared stories from their youth.
Cultural Respect
In many cultures, grandparents are highly respected figures; speaking of them often carries a tone of veneration.

In our family, the grandparents are the keepers of tradition.
Maternal or Paternal
Distinguish which side of the family by saying 'maternal grandparents' for your mother's parents or 'paternal grandparents' for your father's.

We're visiting my paternal grandparents this weekend.
