How do you say older brother in filipino?

There are two ways to say "older brother" in Filipino, depending on the context:

* Kuya: This is the most common and casual way to refer to an older brother.

* kapatid na lalaki: This is a more formal way to say "older brother." It literally translates to "male sibling." You might use this in a written document or a formal setting.

You can also add "nakakatanda" after either phrase to emphasize that he is older. For example:

* Kuya nakakatanda: Older brother

* Kapatid na lalaki nakakatanda: Older male sibling

Ultimately, the best way to say "older brother" in Filipino depends on the situation and the level of formality.
