In front of elders, more formal terms are generally used, such as “表哥” (biǎo gē - elder male cousin), “表姐” (biǎo jiě - elder female cousin), “表弟” (biǎo dì - younger male cousin), “表妹” (biǎo mèi - younger female cousin). In private, they can be addressed according to their closeness and age, such as “哥” (gē - brother), “姐” (jiě - sister), “弟” (dì - brother), “妹” (mèi - sister), etc.
