Brother = Vai(Some people may say "dada vai" too)
Sister = Bon /Apu /Apa
or = othoba/ba
So, brother or sister = vai othoba bon.
Anyway, there is a slight difference between India and Bangladesh for the word "Sister".
Indian (Apart from Bangali) people say "Behan",
Where we(Bangladeshi)say "Bon".
But for "Brother" it's just same.
Hope that helps ☺
