How to write brother in korean

Here is how to say brother in Korean: 형 [hyung] if you are a boy, calling an older brother and 오빠, [oppa] if you are a younger female calling an older brother. 남동생 [nam-dong-seng] can be used to call younger brother regardless of sex.

Elder brothers and sisters are called with title nouns like 언니 (eonni), 오빠 (oppa), 형 (hyeong), 누나 (nuna), but it’s not the case for younger brothers and sisters. We just call them with their name. So, 남동생 is a common or objective noun rather than a title.

However, if you wanted to specify that your younger sibling is a girl and say younger sister, you would say “여동생” which is pronounced “yeodongsaeng.” This comes from the word “여자” or “yeoja”, which means girl or woman. When added to other titles, you often just add “여” instead of the whole “여자.”
