    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.

      Hmm. According to Collins you’re right. 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. :)
