"Sønnen til en tante er en fetter."

Translation: The son of an aunt is a cousin.

[RobinHarry]

Are "fetter" and "kusine" used interchangeably, or does fetter only ever refer to male cousins?

[Luke_5.1991]

The former is only for male cousins, the latter only for female cousins. Søskenbarn is for either gender.

[vdBurg]

Seeing as "fetter" only refers to a male cousin, I assumed "nephew" would also be an acceptable translation. It was not accepted, though. Is this due to a misunderstanding on my part or an oversight on yours? And in case of the former, what would be the correct translation of "nephew" in Norwegian?

[Deliciae]

"En fetter" is the son of your aunt or uncle.
"En nevø" is the son of your brother or sister.

[viktor851]

why "til" and not "av"?

[Max125464]

Does the female and male way of saying "cousin" depend on the gender of the person speaking or on who is being described in the sentence?

[beerzoe]

The gender of the person being described.
