Oppa means older brother and Unni means older sister. This is not the only use of these though. Unni is also what a girl calls a "friend" who is older than her. Although "friend" may be stretching it since Korean technically can only have friends the same age. Oppa is also used only by girls and can refer to a boy who is older than her who is a friend. The other meaning for Oppa though depends on intonation. If a girl says it to a boy in a particular intonation it also has a similar meaning to "lover" or boyfriend.
