المعنى
Asking about family members.
خلفية ثقافية
Family is the most important social unit. Asking about siblings is a way to show you care about the person's life. People may use 'anh cả' to refer to the eldest brother specifically. The eldest brother is often called 'Anh Hai' (Brother Number Two) because 'Number One' is traditionally reserved for the parents or ancestors. In overseas communities, English influence might lead some to just say 'anh' for any brother, but 'anh trai' remains the formal standard.
The 'Có... Không' Sandwich
Always remember to put the thing you are asking about in the middle of 'có' and 'không'.
Don't forget the 'trai'
If you just say 'Bạn có anh không?', it might sound like you're asking 'Do you have a [you]?' which is confusing.
