How is "brothers and sisters" wrong? Not only is it in the dropdown definition but "형제" means "brothers" and "자매" means "sisters". This should not be counted wrong.
Hey, in English, you should know compound words do not always equal the sum of their parts.
while that may be true, duolingo probably would have put a -하고 in there if they wanted it to be "brothers AND sisters"
they're kind of picky when it comes to dumb stuff and not picky with important stuff.
wrong! it's 兄弟姉妹, quit thinking that you know Chinese so that must be the hanja
兄弟姐妹！
Correct in Chinese.

Not acknowledged by Naver. It has neither an entry for 兄弟姉妹 nor 姉妹. Naver says 姉 is an abbreviation for 姊, so the canonical form is 兄弟姊妹.

what's wrong with indicating the chinese words? it helps to relate in some cases.

Is this specifically a plural word? If I put in "sibling", it returns a wrong answer...
