"Sepupu saya menikah."

Translation: My cousin is married.

[DebbydeHaa]

I know married as " kawin"

[UltraSlacker]

Why is my cousins are married wrong?

[AnthonyHas]

Wrong on so many levels! Cultural differences though, i guess ;-)

[jane.chika20]

Not necessarily to each other!
I believe what he meant is: "My cousins are married [to their respective partners]." Or something along those lines.

But this answer wouldn't be accepted tho, I believe it should be plural if talking abobt more than one cousin (as it's not obvious or implied anywhere that it's plural). So if it was sepupu-sepupu I think it should work.

Isn't "nikah"only used for an Islamic marriage? I thought the word was actually "kawin"?

[pigsqueak]

Isn't menikah a verb? I thought this would be, "My cousin got married."

[lockers001]

Is married = past tense ... in this case 'is' is an auxiliary verb and 'married' is the past tense verb. To be married, e.g. one would say, Saya bernikah (literally, I have marriage). Hope this helps.

Haha so nice to recognise some Arabic. 'Nikah' is 'a marriage'.

Can this not be translated as "my cousin is getting married" or "my cousin in marrying"

[Erlie16]

Can it be also: My nephew is married.

[tsfisk]

yes. It depends on the context. It might be specified with "Sepupa saya sudah menika".
