Just curious what are the relationships between you and your cousins cousins that aren’t related to you by blood what do you refer to them as? Are they also your cousins or what
Uhmm, I don't really speak or meet with my cousins, so I don't really know, but if you speaking about a cousin who got adopted in my uncle/aunt family, yes they are considered as my cousin.
Still a cousin I think but my family is weird and some cousins are called uncle and some cousins aren't related to us at all etc.
In France we do have a term for cousins to yhe second degree ( the great grandchildren of your great grandparents that are not those of your uncles), and that is "cousin germain"
Hmm, the standard term to refer to cousins and cousin's cousin in normal convos in my country is "sister/brother/sibling", just like blood siblings do. The term " cousin" is only used when someone ask for a clarification of your relationships. And yeah, i call them like that too.
Cousin's pretty general in the first place. It could be referring to your parents' siblings' children or it could be like, your grandparents' siblings' grandchildren... so yeah, I'd call them my cousin regardless.
Sometimes I add a clarification if they are only-through-marriage cousin (so like my step-uncle's kid that he had from another marriage). Although, I don't think there is much need to add too many details if not asked. They are my cousin nonetheless unless my aunt and step-uncle get divorced, I don't think the intimacy matters too much in terms of familial titles.
