How do you address a Stranger? - Page 4

My husband knows some people who are in their late 50's. Whenever we invite them over, it's hard for me to call them "auntie" or "uncle" as they are still my hubby's colleagues and he calls them by their names. I just add "ji" to their name and it works just fine.

I think we Indians go over the board with our "uncle" and "aunty".

....hey, and my neighbor's daughter....I had my kids call her AUNTY JI in a singsong high pitched voice 😆 poetic justice 😉

agreed, this is common in subcontinental culture but i do ask some kids to call me aunty 😆 😆 😆 it looks cute 😛

😆 😆 😆 i did that blunder myself one time calling one lady aunty and she was almost my age, she got shocked and she said i am like you, i got shocked in return 😆 😆 😆 becoz i thought if she is married then she is aunty, havent you read my post, that i used to think married girls are aunties and married guys uncles, but now i am fine with it, i dont address like that anymore 😆 😆 😆

actually that's when you use your kids to get even...and score some more😉

I call people uncle or auntie if they're my friends parents or sumthing or even my relatives b/c remembering names as chachi,massi,etc. is too hard 😆 But other than that I just always add 'ji' to everyone's name. It's respectful and right now I'm not that old so it doesn't feel that odd. But I dont' call random ppl auntie or uncle b/c that feels weird.
And yes some people take the whole auntie/uncle thing way overboard. Like my friend's dad called my mum 'auntie'..Oh I could see fire briming through her nostrils. It was hilarious to me though 😆
