"The son of an aunt is a cousin."

Translation: Sønnen til en tante er en fetter.

Can you tell me what does word "kusine" mean? Doesn't it have same meaning as English word "cousin"?

[grydolva]

Cousins are søskenbarn (literally children of siblings), which could be both female and male. Female cousins are kusine (f) and male are fetter (m).

I now understand why kusine was not accepted here. Tusen takk!

[Philingo]

But cousins aren't children of siblings, they are children of parents' siblings.

It is weird that barnebarn means a child's child but søskenbarn does not mean a sibling's child (the latter is niese or nevø).

[mao-mau]

Why is "av" not acceptable here?

[Kadir90]

Why cant we use søskenbarn in stead of fetter here?

[fallencommander]

Søskenbarn is accepted :)

[J.C.M.H.]

Because of the word sønn.

Why can't we use kusine here?
