How do you say siblings in Japanese?

There isn't one single word for "siblings" in Japanese. The word used depends on the speaker's relationship to the siblings and whether they are referring to brothers, sisters, or both.

Here are some options:

* 兄弟 (きょうだい - kyōdai): This is the most common and general term for siblings, encompassing both brothers and sisters.

* 兄 (あに - ani): Older brother.

* 弟 (おとうと - otōto): Younger brother.

* 姉 (あね - ane): Older sister.

* 妹 (いもうと - imōto): Younger sister.

Therefore, to say "my siblings," you would use a phrase like:

* 私の兄弟 (わたしのきょうだい - watashi no kyōdai): My siblings (brothers and sisters)

You would need to use a combination of the individual words for brothers and sisters if you want to be more specific, for instance "my brothers and sisters."
