minus-squareSuccessful_Try543@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 months 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.
minus-squarefederal reverse@feddit.orgMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoHmm. 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. :)
