Now this sentence popped up at a much earlier level compared to where I am now, and the answer was as given here - using grande and piccolo. When one returns to it in practice, however, things have moved on and we've learnt giovane and vecchia... but these are marked as incorrect. There are some things that just don't work.

"Giovane" is used for both feminine and masculine singular, while "Giovani" is used for feminine and masculine plural.

So my sister is younger than me, but bigger. How can I say this sentence without confusion?
