In this blog we will learn to say, Brothers and Sisters in the Thai language is พี่น้อง | pîi-náwng (brothers and sisters) literally means older siblings- younger siblings and makes no reference to gender at all. You may hear someone referring to a member of their family as พี่ pîi and you will not know whether it is an older brother or older sister. When it is necessary to be specific, the word chai (male) or săao ( female ) is added after พี่ pîi or น้อง náwng.
