How should you call your brother's wife's brother? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Call him by his name, Bobbie. or if his name is not bobbie call him jane.
Gertrude is also considered as appropriate.
Answer
If you wish to introduce him with some sort of a relationship, brother-in-law is more than adequate, but usually you would just refer to him as John Doe. More accurately he is your sister-in-law's brother.
Answer
Use the same criteria that you would use for any male friend. If he is much older, "Mr." might be appropriate, depending on the family and culture where you live. If about the same age, his first name would be appropriate.
When introducing him, you should say "This is my brother's brother-in-law, John Smith." In such situations, the closest relative is normally used as the referrent, rather than "my sister-in-law's brother," as it describes the relationship more clearly. "This is John Smith," is also permissible.
