How do you say cousin Michael in French?

There are two ways to say "Cousin Michael" in French, depending on whether Michael is your cousin on your mother's or father's side:

* Cousin Michael (on your mother's side): Mon cousin Michael

* Cousin Michael (on your father's side): Mon cousin germain Michael

Here's a breakdown:

* Mon means "my"

* Cousin means "cousin"

* Germain means "on the same side" (referring to the same parent).

So, if you want to be very precise about the relationship, you would use "mon cousin germain Michael" for a cousin on your father's side and "mon cousin Michael" for a cousin on your mother's side. However, "mon cousin Michael" is commonly used for both cases, especially in informal contexts.
