its a great hierarchy about love&respect,and its really nice for social control when used it in true way,for make more love&respectbut pity not easy to find old ablas,abis and kardeşs at the days,an awful social deformationso i think not all true look at this hierarchy as a pirivilage,its a great tradition of our people as a way to show our respect and loves to olders and youngers..it isn't possibile to realize goodness of an another culture without live or practise it.....

sorry mrx, but what is this social deformation? lol
Personally, I never believed that concept of social deformation..
I cant see the point of seeing young girls with mini skirt and thinking/complaining 'ah ah dear..in old days, girls were different, the families were different, the manner was different!! etc'.
It is just evolving human beings.
Good or bad. Like it or not.

I simply hate hierarchy and treating people differently based on age. I also hate this "tradition" of disrespecting children... I definitely think this affects self esteem of these kids. On top of putting everyone in suffocating boxes...

Could someone explain a little more what this means abi/kardes? How are they treated differently?

If my psycho analysis of you is correct, catwoman (and I am sure it's NOT) I would say you were the youngest girl child in a family of 10 sons!

If I get it right....can I have 10 extra points???

You have got it all wrong. Being the older brother does have its priviledges: but it also entails duties and responsibilities

Abi is the elder one, kardes is the younger one. The older one has more duties regarding the family, thus he has more respect in the family
