含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)

中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 哥哥，男性长辈，兄长

“哥”常用于称呼自己的亲哥哥，也用作对男性朋友的亲昵称呼。在一些网络用语和流行文化中，也有幽默、调侃的用法，比如自称“某某哥”。 '哥' is commonly used to refer to one's elder brother, but it can also be used affectionately for older male friends. In modern slang or internet usage, it may humorously refer to oneself as 'brother' or be used as a nickname.

象形意义 / 为何这么写 (Pictographic Meaning / Writing Rationale)

“哥”字由两个‘可’上下叠加而成，“可”本义为口器，引申为声音。“哥”原指一起唱歌，即多个声音重叠，后来引申为家中的哥哥（长兄）。'哥' is composed of two vertically stacked '可' components. '可' originally represented the mouth or making sound, so two together depict overlapping voices or singing together, which later extended to mean 'elder brother' (who leads or speaks in the family).

文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)

文言文中“哥”有‘哥哥，兄长’与‘歌唱’的意思，但主要义同现代用法。In Classical Chinese, '哥' could mean 'elder brother' or 'to sing', but the main meaning is similar to the modern one.

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“哥”最早起源于象形字形，由两个“可”叠加而成，本义为歌唱，用来表达声音重叠或合唱之意。后来引申为兄长，因为兄长多为家中发声、带领之人。The character '哥' originated as a pictograph, formed by stacking two '可', which originally meant 'to sing' or 'songs together'. The idea of overlapping sounds or singing together later extended to mean 'elder brother', as the older brother was often the one to lead or speak in the family.

网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

哥的基本含义是指“兄长”或“哥哥”，即比自己年长的男性兄弟。Gē basically means "elder brother" in Chinese, referring to a male sibling older than oneself.

从造字形态看，“哥”字由两个“可”字上下叠加而成。据《说文解字》记载，“哥”最初是一个形声字，表示发出声音。后来引申为称呼年长兄长之词，其结构自古沿用至今，仅笔画上略有变化。In terms of its structure, the character "哥" consists of two stacked "可" (kě) components. According to Shuowen Jiezi, it was originally a phonetic compound representing sound or vocalization. Over time, its meaning evolved to specifically refer to an elder brother.

常用搭配： 如“大哥”（eldest brother）、“二哥”（second elder brother）、“哥嫂”（elder brother and his wife）。Common collocations: Examples include "dàgē" (eldest brother), "èrgē" (second eldest brother), and "gēsǎo" (elder brother with his wife).
“哥”有时也用于对男性朋友、或年长的男性表示亲昵、尊重。"哥" can also be used informally to address older male friends or males with affection or respect.
易混淆点：与“歌”（gē, song）发音相同，但含义、用法完全不同，“哥”是兄长，“歌”是歌曲。Common confusion: "哥" (elder brother) and "歌" (song) have identical pronunciation but very different meanings.

古文和诗歌中，“哥”多用于亲人之间的称呼。例如唐代白居易《祭浮梁大兄文》中的“大哥”。In classical Chinese texts and poetry, "哥" appears as a term of endearment among family members, such as in Bai Juyi's work referencing "dàgē" (eldest brother).
