Answer 2

Yes, I know what you mean. I think that often, it's simply a matter of the context; if a word is used a certain way, it can mean a completely different thing than when it's used in a different way. Also, some formal words are used as slang words regularly, especially here on Yahoo! Answers. Therefore, the slang definition and the formal definition could give you a completely different meaning. I guess it's something you simply have to get used to. That's why I often wish every country spoke the same languages. I've known a little Spanish, a little French, a little Italian, and a little Japanese. Unfortunately, I've forgotten most of what I knew. But when I was more fluent with them than I am now, I remember hearing some things, and thinking, "What the heck.." because it made no sense. It can be so difficult when you're not a native speaker.

'Bhai' exactly means brother. But in Mumbai this term is used for gangster. In the areas affected by Naxalite terrorism, the term elder brother (bada bhai) is used for police and younger brother (san/ chinna/ chhota bhai) is used for naxalites, as the villagers are sandwiched between two.

Answer 7

it's kind of a respectful term for brother in india. it doesn't really have a meaning in english.

so you might call your brother, if his name is rajesh, rajesh bhai. or just bhai. but while brother is the literal translation, there's no exact equivalent in english. but it also means gangster ... i forgot to say that before.
