"Cousin" is a male cousin.
"Cousine" is a female cousin.
Pronounciation:
"cou" = coo as in coop, cool.
"sin" = ze with a "z" sound as in the English "zen", but do not pronounce the final "n".
Un cousin - "coo-ze".
NOTE: Make sure you do NOT pronounce "sin" as the "sai" in "said" because then you would be pronouncing the word "coussin" which means cushion.
For the female, "cousine", pronounce it:
"cou" - coo as in coop, cool.
"sine" - pronounce like the English "zine" in "magazine", emphasize the "n".
une cousine - une "coo-zeen"
