i called my mom's second elder sister 姨妈(二妈Pronounce in Conto) her husband 姨丈(二丈)

single word 姨 = yì (fourth sound in mandarin)
but this word come to 姨妈 = yǐ mà (yǐ which is same pronounce as 二)

if you wan to read as yì mà then sounds quite weird lol
but 姨丈 read as yì jíong is ok wor

the "yi" u said in Cantonese is "2" in Mandarin. If, u know mandarin then u understand what I mean.
That is wrong actually. But ppl just call only. Misleading culture.

u must understand that some chinese word when combine with other chinese word, the pronunciation can be different one. same thing sur name, some chinese word when used as surname it will be totally different in pronunciation.
