Hello,
I am spending my evening trying to wrap my head around all of the family terms in Cantonese, which I find both challenging and somewhat fun!
One question that I have is what one would call their twin sibling? I am one half of a pigeon pair (龍鳳胎), with my sister just minutes younger than I am. Would she still be my 妹妹 (I also have an elder sister and a younger sister), or is there a better term to use? At the same time, what term would identical twins use to call their sibling? I apologise if this is a silly question as I am very much still a newbie when it comes to Cantonese.
Thank you so kindly for your help.
