my young brother vs my youngest brother

Both phrases are correct, but they have different meanings. 'My young brother' refers to a brother who is younger than the speaker and who is probably still a child. Meanwhile, 'my youngest brother' specifically indicates the brother who is the youngest among all siblings. The choice between the two depends on the context and the need to specify the age difference within the siblings.
