[quote=\"BigDevil\"]Please help with this....


I address my father's elder sister's son as 表哥. How should my children
address him? 表伯 or 表舅??

We thought it should be 表伯 since he's my relative, but my 姑妈 said it's 表舅 since he's her son?? :faint:

is pek pek(伯伯) mah..
your 表哥's childred should call you 表舅, right?

So you're agreeing it should be 表伯?[/quote]


should be pekpek(伯伯), never heard of 表伯 wor...
your this 表哥 is consider 姑表 side.

I have never heard of 表伯, think should be called 表舅... but thought 表舅 should be for mother's side?


Haha... what if we are teaching the wrong thing to children...

That's what we thought too...that 舅 belongs to male relatives of the mother's side.

Hence the confusion.

Could it be 叔? 表叔?

Ok... 表伯 does sound uncommon, but we do agree should be 伯 rather than 舅.

Thought 表叔 is for someone younger than me, so it's for my 表弟 and not for my 表哥?

There's definitely such a term. That's for the father's maternal cousins. This is how my daughter address my husband's older maternal male cousins ie the sons of my mother in law's siblings.

This is also the term to address the sons of the paternal grandfather's sister who's older than the child's father.
