Estonia is also perfectly normal to say “veli” too
In Hungarian that is „sibling“, you are looking for *fivér* or more commonly *báty* (older brother) and *öcs* (younger brother)
In Hungarian, the word ‚testvér‘ basically means that you share blood with another person or persons
* test = body
* vér = blood
‚testvér‘ means something like ‚body-blood‘ similar in meaning to the expression ‚vértestvér‘ which translates directly as ‚blood brother‘
Edit: as someone pointed it out, testvér -> sibling, and not brother
Is Slavic „Brat“ being similar to English Brat a coincidence?
Why are the Iberian languages different?
In Italy, we just say „fratello“
Albania – Baltic connection?
In Turkish “kardeş” could be both brother and sister. If you want to specify, you can say “erkek kardeş” (lit: male sibling) or “kız kardeş” (lit: female sibling)
I’m curious about northern Norway, are there relatives of Finns?
why don’t they just say the english one, it’s by far the closest
You can find the Greek word Adelfos/Αδελφός in the name of the city Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love.
South of france say ‚Fry‘ a derivative from ‚Frate‘ which they also say
So many brats in eastern europe
Germanus = brother, Adelfos = brother.
So you’re telling me that Brotherland started WW2 because of their leader Brother H?
Doesnt Hungarian have different words depending on whether its the older or the younger brother?
Estonian „vend“ is almost like the Dutch „vent“ which means „guy“ or „dude“
I love how different and weird Basque always is
Amazing map, amazingly displaced Cyprus. (And no New Zealand.)
