testévé

testvére is a Hungarian term referring to a sibling. It is used to denote a brother or a sister. The word is gender-neutral, meaning it can be used to refer to either a male sibling or a female sibling. In everyday Hungarian conversation, context often clarifies the specific gender of the sibling if necessary. For example, one might say "a bátyám testvére" to specify an older brother, or "a húgom testvére" for a younger sister. However, the standalone term "testvére" generally implies any sibling. The possessive suffix "-m" can be added to form "testvérem," meaning "my sibling." This term is fundamental in Hungarian kinship vocabulary and is used frequently in family-related discussions. Its simplicity and gender-neutrality make it an efficient way to refer to brothers and sisters collectively or individually.
