sestrična

1. Croat. (kinship) cousin
   Moja sestrična se udaje sledećeg meseca. — My cousin is getting married next month.
   Leto sam proveo kod sestrične u Novom Sadu. — I spent the summer at my cousin's in Novi Sad.
2. (sister's daughter) niece
   Sestra mi je rodila ćerku, pa sada imam sestričnu. — My sister had a daughter, so now I have a niece.

The 'cousin' meaning is Croatian; in Serbia the word is rare in this sense and may be understood as 'niece'. In Serbia: sestra od tetke, sestra od strica, sestra od ujaka or rođaka. Serbian dictionaries give sestrična as a variant of sestričina 'sister's daughter, niece'; today sestričina is the usual word for that. A male cousin is brat od strica/ujaka/tetke or rođak; bratanac means a brother's son (nephew).
