    Can someone please tell me what this means? I heard somebody say "Tuve que volver a mi casa porque mi hijada cumplia sus 15 años"

    The word is "ahijada" and means goddaughter.

    ¿Estás seguro de que dijo "hijada" y no "ahijada", porque "ahijada" tanslates to "goddaughter"?

    It must be:
    From the Diccionario Espasa Concise © 2000 Espasa Calpe:

    godchild ['gɒdtʃaɪld] nombre ahijado,-a

    It surely was "ahijada" (goddaughter) since it's common in some countries, at least it is in Argentina, to throw a party when your daughter turns fifteen. We don't throw parties when our sons turn 15, although in the past the 18th birthday for a boy was equivalent to the 15th birthday for a girl.

    All the best,

    Como sabe todo el mudo, la fiesta para la muchacha es La Quinceañera.
    ¿Pero del muchacho? ¿Dieciochoañera?
