As my family is Vietnamese, not only do I adress my own elder siblings “brother” and “sister”, I even adress people like that that aren’t my actual siblings at all. Unless they’re older, in which case they’re “uncle” and “aunt”.
Although, I also grew up without my siblings around and am more removed in aged from them than they are from each other, so there is kind of a distance that a lot of siblings don’t have.
