"Este tío es el hermano más joven de mi padre."

Question

"Este tío es el hermano más joven de mi padre."

Does this mean

"This uncle is the youngest brother of my father."

or

"This uncle is the younger brother of my father."

or something else?

You might want to look at the use of "Menor" as opposed to más joven? - kmaakheru, Dec 3, 2011

Answer 1

Your first option is the one.

Replacing "el" with "un" would turn the meaning of the sentence to option 2, am I right? Thanks for help. - SoftStone, Dec 3, 2011
