I talked it with Gemini, to be clear about english language. Today, I asked him(it?):

how to say "primo" and "prima" in english?

This AI machine replied:

Only "cousin" for both. Also, cousin is applied in all orders: first-order, second-order...

Obviously, "SURPRISE" is a small word to describe it.

Really??? I undestand that, maybe, they don't have interest in cat sex, but... in persons??? Such a carelessness with language!

I continued. Gemini said (in spanish):

The root is in antique french "cousin" and "cousine" but they lossed the gender in english.

I asked him if I can use "cousine", at least, to compensate it. I went far away, saying:

I don't want to suffer with these anti-gender sillinesses of Yanquis, can I use "cousine"?

Gemini response:

No. "Cousine" is not english word. Native persons will believe that you are wrong and will fix it

"FIX"? OH, MY GOD! 😂 I can't do it anymore. I swear I'm trying.

Yes, sometimes I am... 🤣 but probably I need a psy medicine and it must be accounted.
