Answer 1

If she's a femaile Cousine: Bent Ammy : بنت عمى
If he's a male cousin: Ebn Ammy: ابن عمى
If they're many cousins: Welad ammy: ولاد عمى
that's if their father was ur father's brother....
But If they're ur mother's brother's kids...
A girl: Bent khaly: بنت خالى
a boy: Ebn khaly: ابن خالى
a group: Welad khaly: ولاد خالى
If they're ur Father's sister's kids....
A girl: Bent Ammety: بنت عمتى
A boy: Ebn Ammety: ابن عمتى
a group: Welad Ammety: ولاد عمتى

Actually, the word cousin has more than 6 or 7 meanings in Arabic. The reason behind this is that Arabic is more specific when it comes to relations.Also , Arabic is , unlike English, gender-specific. So the brother of my father is "Am" which is a different word from the word which is used to express the bother of my mom, "khal". The two words have one equivalent in English :uncle

Prepare yourself for them then , lol:

1- " Ibn Am" The son of the brother of my father. !!
2- "Bent Am"The daughter of the brother of my father!!
3- "Ibn Ama" The son of the sister of my father.
4- "Bent Ama" The daughter of the sister of my father.
5-"Ibn Khal" The son of the brother of my mother.
6- " Bent khal" The daughter of the brother of my father.
7- "Ibn Khala" The son of the sister of my mother.
8-" Bent Khala" The daughter of the sister of my mother.

All the previous 8 words are the translations of only one English
