    I failed once at this kind of stuff but I'll have another go.

    By cousin's cousin do you mean your dad's sister-in-law's niece (dad's brother's wife's nephew/niece)?

    If so, that would make your cousin's cousin your aunt/uncle's niece.
     
  3. your cousins cousin would be you :p


    So the answer is: Their cousin.



    On their mom/dad (whichever aint related to you) side they would simply be their cousin too

    ^ yeah in Chinese if possible....

    Also for other people, what I meant was basically, your cousins cousins.
    'biu mui ge biu dai'
    表妹嘅表弟

    Also that chart above IS confusing, I don't understand the once removed, twice remove!?

    what has getting removed got to do with relatives?

    ^ removed just means a different generation... so "once removed" is one generation difference... "twice removed" is two generations difference...

    and i think once it goes outside of your family - i.e. when its your uncle/aunt's brother/sister-in-law's kids then you aren't really related...

    ^ lol i do like the specificness of the chinese language of calling your relatives but sometimes its too specific and to wide ranged esp when u need to call their names by your cousin's cousin who are not related to u
