What dongsaeng mean?

"Dongsaeng" (동생) is a Korean word that means "younger sibling". It can refer to a younger brother or sister.

Here's a breakdown of the word:

* 동 (dong) means "same" or "equal".

* 생 (saeng) means "life" or "being".

Therefore, "dongsaeng" literally translates to "same life", implying a shared family lineage but a younger birth order.

It's an affectionate term used by older siblings to refer to their younger siblings.

Here are some examples of how "dongsaeng" is used:

* "나의 동생은 매우 귀엽다." (Na-ui dongsaeng-eun mae-u gwiyeopda.) - "My younger sibling is very cute."

* "동생에게 선물을 주었다." (Dongsaeng-ege seonmul-eul jueotda.) - "I gave a gift to my younger sibling."

* "동생이 나보다 키가 크다." (Dongsaeng-i na-boda ki-ga keuda.) - "My younger sibling is taller than me."

It's important to note that the term "dongsaeng" is only used by the older sibling. Younger siblings typically use "oppa" (older brother) or "eonni" (older sister) to refer to their older sibling.
