In Cantonese.
In below 2 Cantonese words, how you pronounce it when you address them(your mother's sister's husband)?
Dont mind the meaning, pronunciation matters only

姨丈

or

二丈

?

For the last 15 years. I called them 二丈.

fahamnye

姨丈 , because they are your 姨....二 is Second. maybe there's 二姨丈 for mom's second sister's husband.

i call them moon rune

For me I can speak cantonese and write Mandarin I called my aunt's husband 姨丈 .
the 2nd born aunt's husband sama 姨丈 Because my Cantonese pronouncation is bad.

i call them appa..

oh you're asking about pronunciation issit

the second one. hong kong people also pronounce like that iirc

i call my boss tai lo, sumtimes nam,

people call me chicken, sometimes bro chicken

it is 姨丈 , but i pronounce it as 二丈 in cantonese ofcourse

i called them uncle, settle

Yeah. But it is wrong pronunciation. Misleading culture. LOL

Pronunciation.nikka

misleading culture.

translated for kengkawan 1Malaysia:

So if there is 3 of them in front of u. U call uncle, uncle, uncle?
If u want to call one of the uncle, u call uncle too?
Then 3 of them look at you and scold you "siao lah lu"
