What does uncle mean?

The following are the names of "uncle" that relatives are familiar with in the market.

Say "uncle" first. According to kinship, your father's brother is called uncle (uncle greatly), and his father's eldest brother is naturally called "uncle"

In other words, these relatives are your father's parents, that is, the descendants of grandparents.

Let's say "uncle"

Uncle usually refers to a man who is younger than his father among his peers, but ranks first in his generation in the family where his elders live.

The elders of "uncle" are definitely not from your grandparents' family, but from other elders and relatives of your father. They can be dad's uncle's house (your name is Grandpa/Grandpa), dad's aunt's house (your name is Aunt Milk), dad's uncle's house (your name is Uncle) and dad's aunt's house (your name is Aunt Milk).

In other words, "uncle" is definitely not a real uncle, but a cousin or cousin (father's cousin) or a distant relative.

The title of "big uncle" on the mother's side can include your mother's own brother and cousin, or the man who is younger than her mother but belongs to the oldest family among her other elders.

In short, a big uncle can include a close uncle who is older than your mother, or a man who is younger than your mother, but all other elders and relatives are at home (cousins, distant uncles).

If you don't understand, you can look at the following relationship:

People's kinship includes not only brothers and sisters with their parents, but also children from parents' families of the same generation:

Dad and brother are your uncle's children: cousins.

Father and sister are your aunt's children, mother, brothers and sisters are your uncle's and aunt's children: cousins.

Cousins continue to be divided into: you and your aunt or uncle's children call each other "Aunt XXX" and you and your aunt's children call each other "Second Aunt XXX"
