What Is The Word tante When Translated From Indonesian To English

From BioMicro Center


The word 'tante' in English is aunt.

Suprisingly, the word 'tante' in Indonesian has a similar meaning to the word 'tante' in French which also means 'aunt' in English.

Side note: phising Indonesians tend to call any women 'tante' even though they are not related, as long as that woman is older than you. For example, I would call my friend's mom 'tante' rather than 'bu' (mam) because I am close to her.
