BRAVO Citlalli-lalli, i think you have to change the Mexican nationality and get the Syrian one.., we will give it to your for free & we will proud of that

i'll just add a veryyyyyy small thing, قلب المراة محيطً عميقُ من الأسرار
yours is right, but it's better to add "al" to woman & secrets

what is "cousin" in arabic?
and how to say: "the best cousin"

1) cousin from maternal
2) cousin from paternal

any difference?

That one easy for me so i can answer you,

Cousin means ابن عم "Ebn 3am"
The best cousin means أحسن إبن عم A7san ebn 3am

Yes, there's different...
From Maternal we say "Ebn 5al" إبن خال
From Paternal we say "Ebn 3am" إبن عم

I hope above helped, and if it's not clear enough, ask as you like

Thank you both for correcting the sentence and for your encouragement



@Orwito: Yay, I hesitated about using the article before "woman" And hey, I'll be honored to receive Syrian nationality should it ever come true inshallah

Mother side:
Her sister: is called خالة - is 5alah (my aunt is: 5alti) and generally we called strange women who are in age of your mother as 5alah (5alti), but if she's in the age of your grandmom the depend on the accent I say ستي sitti or تاتا tata, others would say جدتي jadaty.
and sometimes حجة (Hajeh) or حجية -(Hajiyeh)
Her brother: is called خال - is 5al (my uncle is 5ali).

Father's side:
His brother: is called عم - is 3am (my uncle is 3mmi). And we call strange men in the age of your father and uncle as 3m (3mmi) if he's older the I would call him سيدي (sidi) or جدي (jaddi)
and sometimes حج (Haj) or حجي (Hajji)
His sister is called عمة - is 3ammah (my aunt is 3mmati)

so my cousin (boy cousin) ibn ~
and cousin (girl) is bint ~
(~ choose what suits your case)

Lucky you kaka, I found it

Please, can anybody help with this:

ذكراك في الحقيقة و في خيالي و في كل أحوالي في كل مكان لك ذكرى.... رغم غيابك عن ناظري...أراك و أتمنى أرعاك... رغم إنقطاع نبرات صوتك المليئة بالعبرات أسمعك... رغم طيلة غيابك و بعدك أنتظرك

Thank you
