////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This time, I introduce "妹"

The left part of this kanji ''女'' expresses a woman.
Therefore, we use this kanji only for woman brothers.
I do not have woman brothers.

But, my wife has two younger sisters.
So, I had two younger sisters-in-law by marrying.

What kind of feelings are woman brothers ?

My answer is ''not different in both man brothers and woman brothers".


I introduce ''友'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
