Oh, it is actually a form of respect in our culture to call someone, (not the same age as we have) in titles such as 'Auntie' (aunt), Uncle, grandma, grandpa, etc. instead of addressing by names;)

So, what do you think of the idea of 'monopolizing' this thread?:D

lol, you can't call a male auntie:D And also, we address such titles for those that are about 2+ years older (brother, sister in english) than us or how they are related to us by blood (but if I consider someone family, I would call him/her such titles);)

Yep yep. I think 16-17, according to the news.

And well, not really because of those 'kissing', but because he had done 'other' things, which I cannot mention on the forum.

in here most of people would call others (even complete strangers) sister or brother. if a lady was very old, she could be called 'mother' (i do that). but your tradition is interesting IMO. i wuld not call someone who's 3 years older than me with a special title. interesting. so at your age it is OK to call someone 21 years old 'auntie'? strange but i personally admire titles of respect in a soceity

That would fall to the category of bro and sis.

how do you say auntie in your language? do you use latin alphabet? i always thought you speak English in your nation. don't know why

Just the same, but sometimes, we don't include the 'i' in auntie and will be pronounced 'ante'. No, we don't use latin. We also use the Romanticized alphabet, with a little addition. English is given an importance in our basic education,;)
