    Is "younger brother" really that far from "little brother"?

            This should also include: "What are you doing, younger brother?" Korean is a language where it is polite to address people in the third person.

            Except you wouldn't use the "은" particle in that case.

              In Chinese, "younger brother" and "little brother" have verrrrrry different meanings... nom' sayin'? I don't know, but Korean might have a similar meaning as Chinese for "little brother"...

              Off topic but "nom' sayin'" is a funny auditory illusion. The brain fills in an "I" even if I say it myself.
