Questions & Answers about Mój kuzyn często dzwoni do babci w niedzielę.

Why is it Mój kuzyn and not Moja kuzyn or Moi kuzyni?

Mój is the masculine singular form of my. It must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies.

• kuzyn = male cousin (masculine, singular) → mój kuzyn
• kuzynka = female cousin (feminine, singular) → moja kuzynka
• kuzyni = (mixed / all-male) cousins (masculine personal plural) → moi kuzyni

So mój kuzyn literally means my (male) cousin.

What exactly does kuzyn mean? Is it any cousin?

Yes, kuzyn is a general word for a male cousin. You don’t have to specify which side of the family.
If you need to be more precise, you can add:

• kuzyn cioteczny – cousin through your mother’s or father’s sister
• kuzyn stryjeczny – cousin through your father’s brother

But in everyday speech, people just say kuzyn.
