My 'wee' brother--a Scottish/Irish locution? I heard this phrase when watching an interesting Scottish-Danish film 'Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself' a couple of days ago and I would like to know 1) how frequently 'my wee brother' is used comparing to 'my little/younger brother' among the Scots 2) some more everyday examples using the word 'wee' in Scotland or among the Scots worldwide Thank you.

Hi there - wee is commonly used in Scottish speech in place of little. examples could be my wee brother/sister ( in this case meaning younger - your brother might actually be taller than you, but he's still your wee brother!) It's only raining a wee bit ( meaning little) Would you like some cake? Oh, ok but just a wee bit ! I'm a wee bit confused The wee ones - meaning the children ( of any age) I'll have a wee think and see if I can come up with any other examples or usage...hope this helps in the meantime :-)

It literally means small, however, it is often simply used as a term of endearment, not necessarily meaning the subject is small.
