TWJian Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Does anyone know what does the romanised Japansese word "onni" means in the phrase "onii" emans in the phrase "onii-san"? I knows what san means but does onii means brother or is it a name? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokele Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 It means brother, yes. Interestingly, if you drop the last i, it means 'goblin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
