In most Asian cultures, you refer to adults as uncle/auntie as a respect thing and to indicate you’re close to them. Doesn’t have to mean they’re related to you, usually you use it for your parent’s friends or adults you regularly see or even your partner’s parents.
so ive seen that but also i still needed confirmation because it seemed like he was related to the dr but then he said the hospital was owned by mcs family lol then ml mentioned his grandma at some point and its feeling like if these families arent related there is definitely ties
Dr. is his cousin but doesn’t mean that they have to own that very establishment.
Thought the Dr. was his uncle? Going back to the earlier part, they call those around their parents age Uncle and Aunt, it's common. It's more so for those they are "close" with in ties. If it's someone they don't know, it's usually Mister or the female equivalent, as we have to damn many for a woman depending on their marital status. Besides, the two families are against each other; if they were related they would be trying to consume the other company and not be fighting to be on top and to out preform the other.
Not neccessaroly brother/uncle rivals exist all the time in these stories where the parents are fighting over the grandparents wealth
Here in the Philippines (Asia), we call out family uncle (Tito) or auntie (Tita), sometimes granny (La) or grandpa (Lo) and sometimes mom (Nay) or dad (Tay). We also call strangers like that as a way to show respect. We also call older males (stranger or not, kuya or older brother) and older females (ate, pronounce it as Ah-teh). We only call people by their names if they allow us to or if we are at the same age or they are younger.
So they kissen cousins ? Also do that count if transmigrated?
