Translation
cousin
Definition
A cousin is a child of one's aunt or uncle. This term refers to a relative who shares a common grandparent or great-grandparent, but is not a sibling. Cousins are often part of extended family gatherings and can be close in age, leading to strong bonds. The word can also be used more broadly to describe a person from a similar cultural or social group, but its primary meaning is a family relation. In English, 'first cousin' specifically means the child of an aunt or uncle, while 'second cousin' refers to the child of a parent's first cousin.
