This time, I introduce "弟"

We often use this kanji as a meaning of the younger brother.
But, this kanji includes the meaning of the feeling to humble oneself calmly low, too.

I have two younger brothers.
Surely, they are splendid younger brothers respecting parents and me.

Do you have younger brother ?
How about your younger brother ?


I introduce ''姉'' on the next time.
