Elder
This is a common Mandarin Chinese transliteration for the male Portuguese/Latin name Élder or Elder.
Senpai / The Elder or Master
先輩 is a Chinese, Japanese, and old Korean word or title that means elders, senior (at work or school), superior, older graduate, progenitor, or old-timer.
In American dojos, this is sometimes romanized as Sempai.
Big Brother / Elder Brother
阿兄 is a Chinese and Japanese title for elder brother.
阿兄 is an honorific title, like saying, “my dear brother.” A nice way to pay tribute to your big brother or older brother on your wall.
Fraternity
University Brotherhood / House
兄弟會 is the word in Chinese for a college fraternity or some other kind of fraternal order.
Literally, these characters mean “Elder brother younger brother association.” The last character can also be translated as a group, union, gathering, assembly, meeting, or conference.
Red Envelope
紅包 literally means “red treasure.”
Depending on the context, it can also mean “money wrapped in red as a gift,” “a bonus payment,” “a kickback,” or “a bribe.”
However, most of the time, this is an innocent gift of money in a red envelope that is given from an elder relative to a youngster. This usually happens during the Chinese New Year. It can also happen in preparation for or during a wedding in China.
紅包 is pronounced “Hong Bao” (with an “oh” vowel sound on hong) in Mandarin Chinese. Filipino Chinese call it “Ang Pao.” There are a few other variations.
