Italian term

neo cugina

Italian to French Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Ho scritto una lunga letter alla neo cugina, in occasione del matrimonio con Dino, e non ho potuto accennare alla povera zia Amalia, la quale oggi sarebbe consentente, poiché i morti non possono se non benedire le azioni di noi...

-> Bon, en français j'ai déjà du mal à distinguer un cousin germain d'un cousin tout court...
Autant dire que "neo cugina/o" m'échappe un tant soit peu!
Je ne trouve aucune traduction, pas même dans mon vénérable Villanova, millésime 1835 :-)

Merci!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

nouvelle cousine

Cette personne devient une "nouvelle cousine" du fait, j'imagine, que Dino est le cousin du narrateur (donc cousine par alliance).
