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. If you are not the youngest, you could indicate total number and how many are older than you by saying something like, i'm the third of seven siblings Or if you don't wish to mention age, you can say, i'm one of seven siblings.
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. My youngest brother works in the back while my elder, younger brother takes orders at the counter. the older of my brothers. comes across as a grammatically awkward statement
It doesn't sound right when i attempt to annunciate it I could be wrong, since i don't have a phd and am just an esl teacher, but it doesn't sound smooth. A maternal uncle is your mother's brother What's the term for an uncle that is younger than you, or a niece/nephew that's older? Which one is the correct phrase to say I have always been confused by that
A boy, youngest is it correct for their father to refer to a as 'my eldest son' and to b as 'my younger daughter'
