In a familial sense, Sigung can be translated to Grandfather
and Sifu, to Father.
Can anyone tell me the titles for other students in my class? Eldest brother and sister, specifically. And out of curiosity, Are there feminine equivalents to the teacher and master titles? Any extra info on the subject would be great.
:) Thanks!
