兄弟
“兄弟” (xiōngdì) is a Chinese term that translates to "brothers" in English. It refers to male siblings, typically indicating a close familial bond. In Chinese culture, the relationship between brothers is often emphasized, highlighting loyalty, support, and shared responsibilities within the family.
In addition to biological brothers, “兄弟” can also refer to close male friends who share a brotherly bond. This concept is prevalent in various aspects of Chinese society, including literature, film, and everyday life, where the idea of brotherhood symbolizes unity and mutual respect among men, akin to the bond seen in 兄弟情 (brotherly love).
