愚ぐ弟てい

noun

my younger brother

Humble term used to refer to one's own younger brother when speaking to someone outside the family. Shows modesty about one's own family member.

• 愚ぐ弟ていがお世せ話わになっております。

  My younger brother is in your care.

noun

foolish younger brother

Literally 'foolish younger brother', but in practice this is the same humble usage as sense 1; the 'foolish' nuance is part of the self-deprecating humble expression rather than a separate meaning. Rarely used to actually call one's brother foolish.

• 愚ぐ弟ていの不ふ行ゆき届とどきでご迷めい惑わくをおかけしました。
