Hello everyone!
Could you help me with a question about Egyptian Arabic? You have the word اخوات . It differs from MSA because it can be translated either "brothers" or "sisters". But how can you identify in a sentence that a person speaks about brothers not sisters? For example, how to say the following sentence in Egyptian Arabic?

I have 3 brothers and 3 sisters.

It means the sisters and brothers, its equal siblings in English
