"Are they brothers?"

Translation: 彼らは兄弟ですか？

[Aaron5314]

If Yakuza has taught me anything, it's that きょうだい means brothers.

[AjanaeAC]

Why is it かれら instead of just かれ?

[Paralars1]

it's plural

[Liam315]

彼らは兄弟ですか？

[TyrantRC]

adding kana for the future ;)

「彼らは兄弟ですか？」【かれ -らは・きょうだいですか？】

[Tomas.Janik]

彼らは兄弟ですか is now accepted so you can delete this post.

[ChristianO934994]

Unrelated but holy-
that's a lot of languages

[Tomas.Janik]

Thanks, but there are bigger fish than me on duolingo, you should check the hall of fame.

Why is it that 彼女needsたちbut 彼needs onlyら to form plural?

[LilietB]

why is "kyoudai desu ka" wrong? Sure it can mean other things depending on situation if I don't specify the pronoun, but it can mean that too in context, can't it?

[tadpole17]

I think that could mean "Are you brothers" rather than "they."

[gozenreiji0]

Any difference between 〜ら　and 〜たち?

[demariste]

Just wanted to ask if -tachi is only used with watashi? Or is there a rule to follow when using -tachi?

[snazan]

You can use tachi with other things.

Boku = male "me"
Bokutachi = "me" + others
Tanaka-tachi = Tanaka + people with Tanaka
Etc

Basically means "people associated with" I saw someone else say

[saralnh]

Why is it かれら and not かれたち? Can both not be used to refer to them as plural?

[Luminareo]

Why not 彼らは兄弟いますか？　I think I'm generally having trouble with います and です .

[Tat0461]

I think the います is used more in situations where you wanna say there is something or when you have something, like you have two brothers, but です is when you ARE so 彼らは兄弟です"they are brothers", plus か "are they brothers?"

[IjitaNanako]

How do you say simply siblings, as in, brother and sister?
Do you use "kyoudai" or "shimai"?

[Tat0461]

I've seen duo translate kyoudai as siblings so I believe that one

[kikimoumoune]

I have a question.
彼たち doesn't exist ?

[IjitaNanako]

Nope. Instead of "karetachi" (forgive the romaji) we use "Karera"
Hope this helped! :)

[Mery107]

What is the difference between彼らand彼.

[Swisidniak]

彼 - he/him
彼ら - they (plural - all male or a mixed group)

[elpolloher3]

Why not "かれらわおにさんですか。",when we have already used "おにさんが三人います。"?

[Tat0461]

maybe because おにちん means only "older brother" so that would make them both older brothers but like it can't be between them, that's why they use 兄弟 where they are big brother and little brother and that's their relationship. I think

[Marius865446]

かれらはきょうだいですか
彼らは兄弟ですか

[KatherineN561622]

Why isn't 彼たちapproved?

[UsamahAghis]

彼たち doesn't really exist, but some people tend to use that in formal context. You can find more detailed information here https://www.japanesewithanime.com/2017/08/tachi-meaning-pluralizing-suffixes.html
