How do you say older brother in Punjabi?

There are a few ways to say "older brother" in Punjabi, depending on the context and the speaker's relationship with the brother. Here are some options:

Formal:

* ਵੱਡਾ ਭਰਾ (vadḍā bharā): This is the most common and formal way to say "older brother". It literally translates to "big brother".

Informal:

* ਭਰਾ (bharā): This simply means "brother" and can be used when talking to or about an older brother.

* ਜੱਠਾ (jaṭṭhā): This is a more casual and affectionate term for "brother" and is often used between siblings.

* ਬੜਾ ਭਰਾ (baṛā bharā): This means "elder brother" and is a more respectful way to address an older brother.

The best way to choose the right term depends on the situation. If you are talking to someone outside of your family, it is best to use a formal term like "ਵੱਡਾ ਭਰਾ". However, if you are talking to a friend or family member, you can use a more informal term.

It's also important to note that the word "bharā" can be used for both older and younger brothers, so the context is important to understand which brother is being referred to.
