Hi Everyone,
I would like you to help me in debating this topic How do we address Strangers?
When we want to talk to a stranger, do we address the person as Uncle , Aunty or something else? depends upon their age, I mean if they seem to look like above 50+ then Uncle and Aunty is what I could call as these people dont mind them calling as such. 😊
Who are the people who should be called Uncle and Aunty? Are they known to you. If they are known to us then they are not strangers and we would call them according to their relation to us. 😊 or you just judge the person by his or her appearance? If they are totally strangers and there is a need for us to talk with them for some reason then yes, I will go by their appearance. Like I said, if they look like 50+ then I will call them Uncle and Aunty and if they look younger then that then Madam or Sir would be appropriate as generally calling by Madam and Sir is acceptable rather than Aunty or Uncle. 😳 or just say hello, and say whatever you want to say....
Should 30 yrs and above people should be addess as Aunties and Uncles. No Way... 😆
what is the right thing to call a stranger when you are in a party or in a function or lost in a place? In a party, we can introduce ourselves or use a common friend or accquantaince to introduce us to that person and then after getting introduced, we can call them Mr. or Mrs. so and so, if they feel odd about it they will let us know and tell us what we should call them... 😆
In a lost place, well say...hello excuse me.. and ask the question... no need to address or Madam or Sir it ok I guess... it depends upon the situation also.... 😊
Dont you think that the stranger may feel offended with you saying Uncle or aunty to them? Of course they might, thats why addressed them as Madam or Sir or didi or bhaishaab or just ask them... 😊
Plz comment on this?
😳
