Best Answer

The way to say "older sister" is
oneechan (pronounced "oh - NAY - chan") = Familiar form
oneesan = Honorific form
ane = Humble form

You can also take the "o" off the first two to make it just neechan or neesan, but that's more general "sister" rather than for an older sister.

For younger sister,
imouto = Basic form
imoutosan = Honorific form

1. my older sister is ane
2. my younger sister is Imooto
3.your younger sister is Imootosan
