How do you say cousin in Cajun french?

There isn't a single word for "cousin" in Cajun French that covers all the possibilities like there is in English. You need to specify the relationship:

* For a male cousin:

* "Cousin" (pronounced "coo-zan") for a cousin on the father's side

* "Cousin germain" (pronounced "coo-zan zher-man") for a cousin on the mother's side

* For a female cousin:

* "Cousine" (pronounced "coo-zeen") for a cousin on the father's side

* "Cousine germaine" (pronounced "coo-zeen zher-man") for a cousin on the mother's side

It's important to note that while these terms are common in Cajun French, the exact usage might vary depending on the specific family and region.
