We use aunt and uncle for people older than us as a symbol of respect too. Old people we can name grandfa(ther) or grandma(ther). These words are used by children in most cases.The most respectful way for us is using the name and the father’s name of a person. Enough people don’t like when somebody is using their surnames in talking, so we can avoid such cases.
We don’t use the word cousin, instead of it we use something like “second-order( related through grandparent) brother” or “second-order (related through grandparent) sister.

Hi Gill
As you have requested, I would like to inform you that the expressions ” uncle and aunt” are used as a form of respect in the most of middle east countries and societies. Also, the word papa came from the same resource ” the middle east countries”.

Hi Gill,
Thanks for the lesson.
In my country and in my state especially, we use words mother, father, uncle and aunt for people that are not really our relatives, too (for the purpose of respect or something like that)

Mohammad

    yes in our culture we use mother and father for old men and women and somebody of us use brother and sister for young man and women and this culture is very nice and i love it.

Jannyl

In greek we say “θείος” for the ungle and “θεία” for the aunt, which are also, as in India, terms of respect to an old person, perhaps we know or meet in our village. Also the terms “mater” and “pater” have greek origin from the nouns ΜΗΤΗΡ and ΠΑΤΗΡ referded in Homer’s Odyssey (6th-7th B.C.)

Thank you for this lesson! In the old romanian the words “uncle” (unchi) and “aunt” (mătușă) were used not just for family members,but also to adress to a man or a women.
