Usage notes[edit]
Cousins of differing levels of shared ancestry are expressed using the same numeric idiom as in English, e.g. one's first cousin is translated into Bulgarian using пъ́рви братовче́д (pǎ́rvi bratovčéd). Meanwhile, cousins "removed" are expressed using the word отстране́н (otstranén), alongside a word or phrase for how many times removed, e.g. братовче́д веднъ́ш отстране́н (bratovčéd vednǎ́š otstranén, “cousin once removed”), братовче́д два пъ́ти отстране́н (bratovčéd dva pǎ́ti otstranén, “cousin twice removed”), etc.
