Bosnian term or phrase: amidžići

http://www.brodarevo.net/diskusije/10/333/Brak-izmedju-krvni...

Specific passage:
Moje licno misljenje o tome je da Onaj Koji je sve nas stvorio najbolje zna sta je dobro za nas, a sta nije. I ako On nije zabranio da se amidzici uzmu (znaci dozvoljeno je), onda ja to prihvatam kao Njegov zakon. Iz strahopostovanja prema Njemu se nebih usudila osuditi nesto sto je On dozvolio.

So who's this woman he can't marry?

Thanks. And to avoid any aspersions on Kale75's reputation, I should point out that I mispelled the original word.

Yes, amidzici...The woman says that her uncle's children can not marry her children because it is contrary to religious beliefs. While the other one believes that there is nothing wrong...

I thought your target word was..amidzinica...(aunt)...now I see you meant...amidzici...(uncle/aunt's children (nephew/niece))
hope this helped...

Asker: It occurred to me that this particular blog seems to be missing diacriticals. Should it be amidžići?

disagree

Kale75: mislim da rodjak moze biti i 7 koljeno u rodbinskoj vezi. Ovdje se radi o bliskim medjurodbinskim vezama.

-> tačno, ali su u ovom kontekstu to ipak 'cousins' na engl. jeziku jer ne postoji drugi termin; možda je bolje 'first cousins', hvala, dodaću to kao dopunu

lifeandlove: I think Kale75 is right - amidzici (plural) means nephews i.e. father´s brother´s children

-> Nephews? Not in this context, but thanks anyway

9 hrs confidence:

first cousins

Explanation:
I definetely can't not to make a difference between my first and fourth cousin, and so does the majority of other Bosnians.

amidza = uncle
amidzinica = aunt
amidzici = the child (children) of aunt(s)/uncle(s) = first cousins

There is an inetersting Bosnian drama on the subject. Title in Bosnian is "Kod amidze Idriza". English translation is "At uncle Idriz's".

good luck
