Primo is a concept with different meanings. It can relate to what results first in something, as in the case of Humberto Primo (the monarch who ruled Italy from 1878 to 1900 ).
Latin is the language from which the word cousin is derived. Specifically, it is the result of the evolution of the term primus , which can precisely be translated as first.
The prime numbers
A prime number is an integer that can only be divided by 1 and itself. Integers that can be divided by other natural numbers besides 1 and themselves are called composite numbers. The only integer that is left out of both qualifications is 1 .
It is important to note that prime numbers can be even or odd . The number 2 is the only example of an even prime number: it can only be divided by 1 and itself ( 2 ) to obtain an integer.
The number 7 is another example of a prime number, in this case odd: it can be divided by unity ( 1 ) and by itself ( 7 ). If 7 is divided by any other integer, the result obtained will have decimals .
There is a wide variety of prime numbers, which can be distinguished according to their characteristics: twin primes , Mersenne primes , Pythagorean primes , factorial primes , and primorial primes , among others.
a kinship
When the notion is applied with respect to an individual, his cousin will be the son of his uncle or aunt . Suppose that a man named Juan has an uncle named Martín who, in turn, has a son named Eduardo . Juan and Eduardo , therefore, are cousins
Precisely, starting from that meaning, we have to state that there is a film titled “Cousins” . It is a Spanish comedy, released in 2011 , directed by Daniel Sánchez Arévalo and starring Quim Gutiérrez and Raúl Arévalo , among others.
It revolves around the figure of Diego , a young man who is abandoned by his girlfriend the days before the wedding. Therefore, in order to get away from everything and mitigate his pain as much as possible, he decides to go with his cousins to the town where they spent their summer holidays. There they will meet people from the past, including loves.
Within the family environment, we must also say that there are different categories of cousins. Thus, there is the first cousin or first cousin , which is the son of the first cousin of an individual. However, there are also the second cousin , the third cousin , etc. , whose numbers indicate the greater or lesser relationship.
Other uses of the term cousin
It should not be overlooked that cousin is also used colloquially with a somewhat derogatory meaning. Specifically, it is used to refer to the person who is easily deceived by others .
Cousin, likewise, is a surname. An example of this is the figure José Antonio Primo de Rivera , who was the founder of the Spanish Falange and one of the conspirators who rose up against the Second Republic , leading to the start of the Civil War .
