''Gege is something a child would call their older brother or a close male friend who is older. It sounds a bit childish or flirtatious to keep doing so when you’re no longer a child. Then you switch to the singular Ge. Similar to how ‘Mama’ and ‘Baba’ are Mommy and Daddy, and when you’re older you swap to ‘Ma’ as Mom and ‘Ba’ as Dad. Someone might call their boyfriend Gege. Its a way of acting cute. It’s serviceable in both ancient and modern times. People are usually more familiar with Korean norms bc kdramas, so Gege is the equivalent of Oppa. It can be used flirtatiously or platonically. Just depends on context, who’s saying it and to whom.'' quote from reddit
In Polish similiar we say "bracie" and "braciszku" more affectionately. Not used in a romantic sense, but "bracie" (nominative: Brat) can be used in the same context as the English "bro", but if a beautiful girl I didn't know came up to me on the street and said "braciszku", my heart would probably instantly melt from the overabundance of sweetness
In India, when a girl calls you Anna (in Tamil, meaning brother), it's literally over. You are considered like her REAL brother, and you will have no chance with her.
@@iamme25yagoummh it’s not siblings it can be any male older than you even in my country we say bebe to our biological brothers and older males it’s pretty common but people usually stop saying that if they get into a relationship with the person it’s just considered good manners to call them by that
It's funny how different cultures attach certain meanings to words. I've never had an unrelated girl call me "brother" and I'd probably think it was slightly odd if she did, though I would think of it after as a gesture of respect. But if a random girl called me "daddy," I'd probably react just like these guys, even though I think girls calling their guys "daddy" is kind of a strange feature of my culture. It's a funny world.
Now I understand why in the Chinese novels I read in my country's language, the male lead always wants to be called "brother" by the female lead. However, in my own country, this is a very common call for a younger brother to behead his older brother or a man who is older, a call for seniors at school too.
It depends on how you call someone haha. “Gege,” with the character doubled, sounds more flirtatious if you’re not a child using it. Most adults would use just “Ge.”
In India it's ok to call brother to the male stranger 😄 and sister to the female stranger. When we need help we usually call them brother or sister because we don't know their name 😂
Yeah they’re surprised because in China, “Gege,” with the double “ge” sounds flirtatious and cutesy if you’re an adult doing it (as mostly children use it). Most actual adults would just use “Ge.” It’s like the difference between the Japanese “Onii-chan” (more cutesy) versus “Onii-san” (more polite).

Yes, haha. But here in the North, it's completely normal to call women "sister" as long as it's "mana" or "maninha" or even "manazinha" (as opposed to "irmã), haha. Cheers from Manaus - AM! 👋

Calling someone brother in India is like rejecting them even b4 they make a move so it's not really appreciated by men here but a polite way to refuse a proposal 😂
In Indonesia, it was normal. we called "brother" to the stranger because to honor and respect that person. "Mas or Abang" for man and "mba" for women. "Bapak or paman or kakek" for old man "Ibu or tante or nenek" for old women. We can't directly call by name or without name. Concidered impolite. In Indonesia, We alowed call the stranger without name if we say "excuse me" first.

The Chinese "GeGe" in this video, not simply "brother" in translation. It only from a girl (not relative) that same generation with the men, calling the men that she love/like. That's why the gentlemen so excited being called GeGe from pretty girl haha.
4:48 Some friends have very little chill.😒🥴🤣🤣 All in all, he was trying to help his friend romantically...i wonder kf he's that confident himself though.
Always enjoy your videos! I think you should do the mannequin prank again. And the one that the actors change without the people noticing they changed 😂
Can someone pls tell if Chinese use the term brother in the same sense as koreans use oppa?? Like do chinese use brother as an endearing term as well to show a girl's interest in a boy in kinda romantic way?? Im kinda confused bcoz some guys felt really happy hearing the girls call them brother but some felt devastated as if brother made them real brothers of the girls.😂
Gege is to address older brother/older males but it can be used in a flirty/cute way. Some girls call their boyfriends gege if I’m not mistaken. Didi is to address a younger brother/young male. Meimei is to address a younger sister/ young female. Jiejie is to address a older sister/older female.(not very old tho) If I’m not mistaken I think sometimes jiejie and meimei can also be used in a flirty/cute way.
IM YOUNGER THAN YOU dude cracked me up. Like “nah, not this shit again” he was so done 😂

If a woman called a random guy brother in Australia it wouldn’t be a compliment they’d just think they were being friendzoned.

Because it doesn't mean the same thing in Chinese.
in sweden you would get ignored lol
In India....they would be heartbroken😂
same for arab countries hahaha

Gege is to address older brother/older males but it can be used in a flirty/cute way. Some girls call their boyfriends gege if I’m not mistaken.
Didi is to address a younger brother/young male.
Meimei is to address a younger sister/ young female.

If I’m not mistaken I think sometimes jiejie and meimei can also be used in a flirty/cute way.
