This is not question about language but rather a question about sets to me When you are talking about the youngest or the oldest, that should be only one of that kind. His sister is his youngest sibling, but his younger sister Since she is the lone female child, there is no need for the superlative form Suppose, however, that there are more siblings, and their birth order goes like this Boy, girl, boy, boy, girl.
A friend of mine has a big family She is a chinese girl, and has five sisters, who are all younger than she She wants to know how to introduce her five sisters To make it easy to understand, i. 1 i find the phrase one of and the word youngest clumsy in this context, and would instead say (for example) he was among the younger siblings or he was a young sibling or he was little brother to most of his siblings. A maternal uncle is your mother's brother
Thank you for the response However, how would i refer to the number of siblings and still use the word siblings within the sentence Or perhaps what would be a better way to word it? Which one is the correct phrase to say I have always been confused by that Today is the youngest you'll ever be again
The second statement requires a little bit more thought You will never be as young as today, again The two statements together form a commentary on the ageing process You are both older than you have ever been in the past, and younger than you are ever going to be in. She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father Ad had, in consequence of her sister's marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early peroid
A boy, youngest is it correct for their father to refer to a as 'my eldest son' and to b as 'my younger daughter'
