We all like to use the honorific name
when we say hello. For example, when you see an older grandma, you will be called "grandma"
. But in a foreign country, even a white-haired grandma
, if you call her "grandma", it would be impolite to call her

13zz grandma" How do you call it in English?We may think that calling the elders "grandma"
can show respect and sounds very cordial
, but due to the differences between Chinese and Western cultures
foreigners don’t like to be called too "old". Question:
But if you are an unfamiliar or completely unfamiliar grandma,
is best not to use grandma! In this case, foreigners generally use "Mrs+surname" to address
. For example, the name of a grandmother is: Merry Smith
, we can call her: Mrs Smith
In addition,
can also use "Ma'am" to address older women .
Ma'am
English [mæm] United States [mæm]
means: Madam, madam, wife
(Ma'am is an English honorific name)

Don’t just call uncle uncle! ! ! !
Many parents teach their children to say hello when they see people. For example,
calls "uncle" and "auntie" when they see their neighbors.
, but in foreign countries, like uncle, it is only used to call
's own uncle or uncle (related by blood).
For those who are not related by blood, such as neighbors, if you call
"uncle", you may scare the other party! In this case,
can also use "Mr+surname". If
knows the name of the other party, you can call it directly. For example, if your neighbor is called: John Smith
, you can call him respectfully: Mr.Smith
, or you can call him directly: John
[Note] The usage of
auntie is also similar to that of auntie or
. Aunt,
has no blood relationship with "Mrs/Ms+surname"
