What country do you live in? I heard that in Asian countries, quasi-family dynamics between people of the same community are very popular.So, brozone?
Kek!
Anyway, in my country, it is normal to call a man you respect as older brother. Sometimes, people even call their romantic partner also as older brother. But it is very rare to do the same with older sister.
Thank you for the mass update!
Indonesia. This is common call respectful near-age (older, sometimes younger) man as mas, abang, or akang (depend on region), which means older brother. Those calling also sometime uses for male romantic partner.What country do you live in? I heard that in Asian countries, quasi-family dynamics between people of the same community are very popular.
I see, thanks for the answer. In my Slavic Eastern European culture, it was once popular to call people brothers or sisters (for example, in a religious or national-patriotic context), or children/parents (depending on gender and age), but now it is considered rather old-fashioned and funny and so is mostly used only to make one's speech sound archaic or familiar.Indonesia.

Wow samee, here in Türkiye we also call those older but respectful for us (like our guardian but younger, or assistant, or caretaker) 'abi' which translate to brother. But sometimes if we don't know each other, the other party will downplay and say I'm not your brother, I'm youngerIndonesia.
