    Why didn't little brother work here?

      In Ukrainian 'молодший' is used strictly to mean 'younger' in those type of situations, maybe that is why.

        Still, right English form is "little" — better than "younger", however.

          No, "younger" and "older" are quite the norm in these situations.

            now young brother isn't accepted and "little brother" is suggested. this is weird.

              Young - молодий, so that's already wrong...
