What is with people and issues with these titles?
Does calling her aunty take anything away from him or add anything to him? If you come from a family/tribe where its done or expected,then do it!
How hard is it to say it when you have to and move on instead of wasting useful time brooding over it?

DEGREE2466: Please friends i want to know if it is right for a married man to call his elder brother's wife aunty and greet her in a formal way even when the age difference is not much but because of the fact that the elder brother is the one that trained him in school?

Please drop your suggestions here!!!

so what do you want to call her
her first name?

why not just call her ''mama iyabo'' or whatever name her first kid bears or look for a nickname for her. eg. ''iyawo wa''

I dont know about other tribes but i know in yoruba land, the wife should be the one respecting u even though u are way younger than her. But if not, simply call her 'iya lagbaja' by the name of her kids to avoid problem. #My 2kobo

i don't see anything wrong when you call her anty. Since she's older than you @least thats a sign of respect. Except you have pride issues! gringrin

Thank you all for your replies so far and i need to identify my tribe here because i can see many people are speaking base on Yoruba point of view

i am a core Igbo guy and in the east women are suppose to respect men especially if both are married people no matter the age difference but am seeing something different!
