My question is simple - yet difficult for me of course, otherwise i would not have been asking

 

What does "bende abisi" mean? My friend wrote it to me, but not in any specific context.

 

Thank you

abi (ağabey) = elder brother 

bende = me too

"abisi" isnt actually mean "someone else´s elder brother" here. yes, "abi" is elder brother but...

 

it is said to someone who you have a friendly relationship with love and cuteness and a little bit of having fun of him. generally it is said to children... (even if they are younger than you, you call them as if they are older than you...)

Bende  can also mean "with me".

Bende, abisi = "It´s with me/I have it", and here "abisi" means that the speaker talks to a person who´s older than a third person who´s mentioned earlier in the conversation. 

Bende abisi = "His/her elder brother is with me" ("abisi bende" feels more correct, but as an answer to the question "who´s with you?", "bende abisi" is correct.) 

 

Correct me if I´m wrong

bende : with me (but this is used for inanimated objects rather than human beings. if you refer to a human, then use "benimle")

ben de: me, too (most people write bende incorrectly)
