How do you say have 2 siblings in french?

There are a few ways to say "have 2 siblings" in French, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* Avoir deux frères et sœurs. (To have two brothers and sisters.)

* Avoir deux siblings. (This is a direct translation and is used less often, but still understood.)

Informal:

* J'ai deux frères et sœurs. (I have two brothers and sisters.)

* J'ai deux siblings. (Again, less common but understood.)

* J'ai deux frères/sœurs. (I have two brothers/sisters.) This emphasizes the type of sibling you have.

You can also use "frère et sœur" (brother and sister) or "frère ou sœur" (brother or sister) depending on the context.

For example, you could say:

* J'ai deux frères et une sœur. (I have two brothers and a sister.)

* J'ai deux sœurs et un frère. (I have two sisters and a brother.)

* J'ai un frère et une sœur. (I have a brother and a sister.)

It's important to note that "sibling" is an English word. While it is understood in French, using "frère et sœur" or "frère ou sœur" is more common and sounds more natural.
