"Da Ge" translates as eldest brother. "Mei Mei" is little sister. Rowan is known as "Er ge", but when I was explaining this to my parents, they thought I said something like, "Rowan is Jasmine's 'AAAAaaaargh'". I suppose they were thinking of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They told me not to worry, she'd get English very quickly.
I don't doubt it. If I could only get Mandarin as fast. ;)
