Not to get to off topic here, but I would like to know this as well.

I had someone say brother,and I was like, I thought you did not have a brother, then they said, cousin. I was like, is it brother or cousin?

So Cousin/Brother/Sister mean the same thing?

No you are both mixing it up:

Cousin is двоюродный брат / двоюродная сестра, depending on the gender. You were probably only familiar with the word "брат" and "сестра" when they said it, therefore you made that connection

Kalinka_vinnie, don't you mind if I'll correct you a little bit?

You are right, kalinka, but many people often miss "двоюродный/двоюродная" and say simple "брат/сестра" meaning "cousin". "Кузен/кузина" are rather archaic words and aren't commonly used now.

Of course not!

Yes, I always call my cousin a brother when talking to somebody. I only mention that he's "двоюродный" when it's crucial or when somebody says "Hey! I thought you were a single child".

Thx 4 corrections, DDT!

Thanks everyone!

Ещё можно сказать
Рождество у Лизы
(моя мама бы так сказала)
Чаще говорят "двоюродный брат/двоюродная сестра"

Только сейчас заметил... Фразу "We hope you are doing well", лучше перевести как: "Мы надеемся, что у вас всё хорошо".

I received clarification, yes they do call cousins brothers/sisters here in the ukraine anyway.
