Cultural Background

中文

在中国,称呼朋友的父母通常使用“阿姨”(āyí)和“叔叔”(shūshu),这是比较通用的说法,无论朋友的父母年龄大小。如果朋友的父母年龄比较大,也可以根据实际情况称呼“伯父”(bófu)、“伯母”(bómǔ)等。

在非正式场合下,也可以根据关系的亲疏程度来称呼朋友的父母,比如“王阿姨”(Wáng āyí)、“李叔叔”(Lǐ shūshu)等,在正式场合,最好用“阿姨”或“叔叔”

English

In China, when addressing a friend's parents, the common terms used are "Auntie" (āyí) and "Uncle" (shūshu). These are generally used regardless of the parents' age. If the friend's parents are older, terms like "bófu" (older uncle) and "bómǔ" (older aunt) may be used depending on the specific situation.

In informal settings, you can also call the friend's parents by adding their surname, for example "Auntie Wang" (Wáng āyí) or "Uncle Li" (Lǐ shūshu). However, in more formal settings, it's best to stick to "Auntie" or "Uncle".
