I have 4 sisters and 2 brother
I have = لدي
4 sisters = أربع أخوات / 4 أخوات
2 brother =أخَوَيْن
لدي أربع أخوات وأخوين

the word siblings would translate as -brothers-, the number of brothers / sisters / siblings does not conjugate in spoken arabic, therefore it would be
عندي أربع خوات
عندي أربع إخوة
the latter could mean 4 brothers as well as 4 siblings
