The Chinese word 弟弟 (dìdi) for "younger brother" is composed of two characters: 弟 (dì), meaning "younger sibling", and 弟 (dì), meaning "younger brother". The character 弟 (dì) is a pictograph depicting a younger sibling following an older sibling. The character 弟 (dì) is a phonetic compound, combining the sound component 弟 (dì) with the meaning component 子 (zǐ), meaning "child". Thus, the word 弟弟 (dìdi) literally means "younger sibling who is a child".
