kuziĉo

Esperanto

Etymology

From kuzo (cousin) + -iĉo (male).

Pronunciation

  • (file)
  • IPA(key): /kuˈzit͡ʃo/
  • Hyphenation: ku‧zi‧ĉo
  • Rhymes: -it͡ʃo

Noun

kuziĉo (accusative singular kuziĉon, plural kuziĉoj, accusative plural kuziĉojn)

  1. (rare, neologism, nonstandard) male cousin
    Mi ludis kun mia kuziĉo.
    I played with my male cousin.

Usage notes

  • This form is often considered redundant, because kuzo traditionally means “male cousin” even without the addition of the masculine ending -iĉo, although it is losing this maleness from the influence of gender-neutral usage by English-speaking Esperantists.
