brothers / sisters .... general term?

[riglos]

Hi everybody!

I want to know if there exists a generic term to refer to brothers and sisters, as "children" or "kids" would be for sons / daughters.

If I wanted to say how many brothers and sisters I have in all, which term could I use?

e.g., I have two brothers and two sisters

I have four ..............?

Thanks a lot!

Mara.

PS: In Spanish, we would say Tengo cuatro hermanos to refer to male as well as female brothers / sisters.
