You would also capitalize it if you are using it in place of a name. As you would "Dad" or "Mom." As in, "Dad, where did Sister put my book?" but NOT "Where did my sister put my book." In the first it is used as a proper noun.

∙ 12y agoGenerally, no. If a relationship word or title is preceded by a possessive or article, then it's not capitalized.
Ex: My brother-in-law is awesome.
If you had a sentence like, "I gave the present to Brother-in-Law," then it would be capitalized, but generally people don't talk like that, or write like that.

∙ 15y agoIf it is part of a title, such as Jonas Brother, then yes.
If you are just saying "That's my brother.", then no.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoDepends on the situation. Name or Pro Noun Yes. Just saying brother like "Whats up brother?" Normally u might now. But its okay too
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo, unless it is the first word of the sentence.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoSister and brother should not be capitalized when used instead of a name. In this case, they are not proper nouns and should therefore not be capitalized.
