minus-squareSuccessful_Try543linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·25 days ago There isn’t even a German word for “auntie” in German afaik. Wouldn’t auntie literally be Tantchen? However, I’ve never heard somebody using it except perhaps in translated US TV.

That makes me a lot less sure about the definitions I had in my head: Tantchen, either a) your favorite aunt or a b) random short and/or middle-aged woman that you’re being condescending towards. auntie, a woman that you may or may not be related to but who you look up to for advice etc. and who may fill the role of a parent at times. Maybe someone wants to comment on the veracity of these. :)
