Calling my uncle, aunt, and aunt's children.
The order of family compensation is the same as mine. However, he/she takes precedence in the order of official family events (traditional events) and so on his/her own.
사촌형, 사촌누나, 사촌동생
Whether it's my mom or dad's family, they call me because I'm a cousin.
However, the cousins in the mother's side are called 외 cousins.
ex) father side sousins : 사촌+형,사촌+동생
mother side cousins: 외 + 사촌 +형, 외 + 사촌 + 누나
Whether it's my mom or dad, it's usually my cousin.
The above explanation is an official title method.
Korea legally recognizes households within 8th cousins. However, most families today only visit their uncles or cousins, so they did not include family names above cousins.
