Use the word 兄 (あに / ani), meaning "older brother," in different contexts!
Here is a quick summary of the key grammar points in those examples:
📝 Key Learning Points
| Example # | Grammar Focus | Explanation |
| #1 | Possession (Living) | Uses the structure [Person] には [Thing] が います (to have a living thing/person). |
| #2 | Counting People | Uses ３人 (san-nin): the specific counter for people, which is necessary when stating the number of siblings. |
| #3 | Possession (Noun) | Uses the particle の (no) to show possession: 兄の自転車 (ani no jitensha) $\rightarrow$ older brother's bicycle. |
| #4 | Stating a Condition | Uses カゼにかかっている (kaze ni kakatteiru) $\rightarrow$ "is suffering from a cold" (a common set phrase). |
| #5 | Giving Assistance | Uses the verb 手伝ってくれる (tetsudatte kureru) $\rightarrow$ "helps me (as a favor to me)". The くれる (kureru) part is key and shows the action benefits the speaker. |
