معنی
Having a male sibling.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Slovenia, it is common to live with your brother in the same house even as adults, often in separate apartments on different floors. Many folk tales feature three brothers, where the youngest is usually the smartest or most heroic. The term 'brat' is increasingly used as a loan-translation of 'bro' among youth, though 'stari' (old man) is more traditional. Having a brother was historically vital for keeping the family farm (kmetija) intact and productive.
The Animate Rule
Remember that people (like brothers) always get the '-a' ending in the accusative singular. Objects (like 'avto') usually don't!
Dual Danger
If you have two brothers, don't say 'dva brate'. It must be 'dva brata'!

Use 'starejši brat'. In the phrase: 'Imam starejšega brata'.
