#1procrastinator:
If you have a male and female cousin, is there any other way to refer to them other than 'Meine Kusine und mein Vetter...'? I guess I'm looking for a plural form that refers to both genders.

EDIT: And if you say like the above, would you still have to put the 'mein' in front of 'Vetter'? Meine Kusine und Vetter...

FlorianK:
You can say cousin for male cousin and cousine for female cousin and that is pretty much what every german would say. Vetter is kinda archaic.

Mein is for male and meine is for female as always :D

So you can say something like "Letzten Sonntag war ich mit meinem Cousin und meiner Cousine im Kino", here it is "meinem" instead of "mein" and "meiner" instead of "meine" due to the akkusativ

Danke  :D

I'm still trying to learn the difference between accusative and nominative - whole class is way ahead of me lol (for all my courses actually  :P)

#1procrastinator:
If 'wie' means 'how', then how come it's used in 'Wie heissen Sie?' where it's interpreted as 'what'? My text doesn't talk about it (amazingly shit text by the way, pisses me off everytime I try to learn something from it...)

FlorianK:
"Wie heissen sie?" or "Wie heisst du?" means "How are you being called?" literally translated
