Maarten K.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

little brother - petit frère

young(er) brother - jeune frère/frère cadet

As in English, you will find interchangeability of these terms in use, given that both languages use the phrase 'little brother/petit frère' to refer to 'younger' rather than smaller stature.
