兄弟
According to the person himself, I point at a man of the second degree branching off with the brothers (brothers) in a human being. I usually point at a boy born as the cause of same mother. If an older brother is younger if older than the person himself, it is a younger brother. Is various in the others of this definition; is used, and there is one. In addition, I say with a half-brother or a half-brother when father and mother who are the first degree direct descendant are each brothers and are different. In addition, I say the relations that the people whom a blood relative does not have concluded the pledge of brothers with a brother-in-law. I put an older brother / a younger brother / an older sister / younger sisters together and say sisters (it presents Kei, Mai) who are brother. In addition, sisters (the end) are used only in the case of the woman who is brother (brothers) only in the case of a man. When a member is two people, and it is the pair of the man and woman, there can be the thing that a brother (Kei Mai), a brother (I do it) are used. Three members include a case including the man and woman, the woman in the above and can employ brothers not sisters. In addition, there is it when in late years I do notation called "brothers" by a hiragana letter. Because there is a connection of the blood, it is used as words to point at plural things having the ties that, in addition, is strong that it is common that the appearance and character have many common points generally. I conclude the pledge of the brother-in-law, and there is the thing becoming brother. When "a ship" or "the body" have similar ability, and it was developed in the same time, there is it when I compare it to a man and use it like "brothers ship" "brothers airplane". I use "a city" or "the product" for the woman who is the symbol like "sister city" "sisters product" in hope of future development and prosperity. When I use expression called the "brothers school" "sister school" in the case of the school, there is it. It was able to be used as the second person to mean "a friend", but it is not looked very much recently (an example)： "(By a speech) brothers") such as "intimacy brothers." At the Christian church, it is often that I call it brothers (sister in the case of a woman) as an honorific title (a thing equivalent to) for the believer now.
