    ¿Cómo se dice "HERMANOS" en inglés?

    BROTHERS IS NOT "HERMANOS" (IN SOME SITUATIONS)

    This is a common mistake for Spanish speakers! While it is clear that "brothers" can be translated as "hermanos" this is only the case if ALL your "hermanos" are male!!!

    If you have a mixture of male and female "hermanos" then you have to use the cumbersome phrase: "brothers and sisters" or, if you prefer, another option is: "siblings".

    For example: "This weekend I am going to meet with all of my siblings" or "This weekend I am going to meet with all my brothers and sisters".

    ​Hope that helps!

    Hi Daniel, is the word "siblings" really used in the regular and common language? In UK and USA too?
