Usage notes

Unlike English, the Esperanto terms for "cousin" are gendered. kuzino means a female cousin, whereas kuzo traditionally means a male cousin, although it is losing this maleness from the influence of gender-neutral usage by English-speaking Esperantists.

To avoid misunderstandings when referring to a cousin irrespective of gender, some use the prefix ge- and say gekuzo.
