How to Say "This Is My Brother" in French

c'est mon frère

The English phrase "this is my brother" is translated into French as c'est mon frère.

The phrase is used to introduce a male sibling to another person.

What does it mean word for word?

Literally, the phrase translates to "it is my brother". This is because c'est is a contraction of ce (this/it) and est (is).

The word mon is used specifically because frère is a masculine noun. Even if the speaker is female, you must use mon rather than ma.

If you are introducing multiple brothers, the phrase changes from c'est mon frère to ce sont mes frères.

In French, mon frère can refer to a biological sibling or a close friend, and the term frère is often used as a slang term for 'bro' or 'dude' among young people.
The word frère shares a deep ancestral root with the English word 'brother', both descending from the Proto-Indo-European reconstruction *bʰréh₂tēr.
Members of religious orders, such as monks, are often addressed as frère regardless of whether they have biological siblings.
