WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)

“How about we compromise and just call you 'Big Brother He' from now on to make you feel younger?”

💡 Cultural Insight: da ge / jiao ge (calling someone 'older brother')

In Chinese social etiquette, addressing an older male peer as 'da ge' (big brother) or '[Surname] ge' conveys warmth and respect without sounding overly aging like 'Lao [Surname]' or uncle-generation titles, making it ideal for breaking the ice and building rapport.
