How do you call brother in Tamil?

There are a few ways to call your brother in Tamil, depending on the context and your age relative to him:

Formal:

* Anna (அண்ணா): This is the most common and respectful way to address an older brother.

* Thambi (தம்பி): This is used to address a younger brother.

Informal:

* Akka (அக்கா): This is used to address an older sister.

* Thangai (தங்கை): This is used to address a younger sister.

* Saami (சாமி): This is a very familiar and informal term for "brother" and is typically used between close friends or siblings.

Other options:

* Aana (ஆனா): A slightly more casual version of "Anna".

* Thampiye (தம்பியே): A slightly more affectionate version of "Thambi".

* Ellarum (எல்லாரும்): Meaning "everyone", this can be used to address multiple siblings.

* Idhu (இது): This is a slang term used for a brother, similar to how English speakers might use the word "bro."

Remember:

* The choice of word will depend on the age of your brother and your relationship with him.

* Using "Anna" or "Thambi" is always respectful, even if your brother is younger than you.

* If you are unsure, it is always best to ask someone who speaks Tamil fluently for guidance.
