Question

what does the underlined word mean in the following sentence? jai deux cousines. male cousins female cousins male or female cousins siblings

Explanation:

In French, the word "cousines" is the feminine plural form of "cousin". The masculine plural form for cousins (male or a mix, but here the feminine form) would be "cousins" for male cousins or mixed, while "cousines" specifically refers to female cousins. The sentence "J'ai deux cousines" means "I have two female cousins". "Siblings" would be "frères et sœurs" or other related terms, not "cousines". And "male cousins" would be "cousins" (masculine plural) if referring to males. So the correct meaning of "cousines" here is female cousins.

Answer:

B. female cousins
