Imeti brata

To have a brother

意味

Having a male sibling.

🌍

文化的背景

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'!

意味

よくある質問

Because 'imeti' requires the accusative case, and for male people, the accusative ends in -a.

You say 'Imam dva brata'. This uses the Slovenian dual case.

Yes, but it's informal. It's better to say 'On mi je kot brat' (He is like a brother to me).

Then you say 'Imam tri brate'. The ending changes for plural.

No, for a male cousin you use 'bratranec'.

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

It can mean 'two brothers' (dual) or 'one brother' (accusative singular). Context is key!

In standard Slovenian, it is typically short, but it can vary by dialect.

No, that's a literal translation from English and is grammatically incorrect. Use 'Imam brata'.

The diminutive is 'bratec', often used for a younger or beloved brother.
