This is the gender-neutral family term. Distinguish it from 'half-sibling', which means you share one biological parent.

常見錯誤

❌Omar is my stepsibling because we share the same mother.
✅Omar is my half-brother because we share the same mother.
💡stepsiblings are connected through a parent's marriage, not through a shared biological parent.
❌My stepsibling sister lives in Kaohsiung.
✅My stepsister lives in Kaohsiung.
💡if you want to show gender, use 'stepsister' or 'stepbrother', not both together.
