How do the Manchus address their elders?

The Manchus have never called their mothers "Auntie," which is something you Han Chinese have made up according to your own preferences.

Manchus call their mothers Ne Ne, Ne Ne Ne, or, if more formal, E Min.

The father's name is usually Zhe Zhe (哲哲), but in a more formal tone of voice, it is Amei (阿麦).

And that guy is making it up again, the great-grandmother is called Mrs., and the grandmother is actually called Mom. Grandfather is called Mafa.

Mother in law is Ermah and father in law is Ammah.

The uncle is usually called Ezeeh, but in formal occasions he is called Eshwun.

The aunt is called Dehmin, and the uncle is called Dehoma

The aunt is usually called Oko, and formally known as Uhumin.

The aunt is called Tal, and the uncle is called Sadun Ezikh.

The uncle is called Amu Jin, and the aunt is Amu.

The older brother was called Agu and the older sister was Erhyun.

Another note, the Manchu for their own old servants are generally very respectful, the status of young masters in the family is not as high as the status of the old servants, so for the older than the parents of the maid is also called mom, some TV shows to change to the grandmother, pure fabrication.

Also in the Manchu family in charge of the head of the family is called Da Da, this name does not distinguish between men and women. So the Crown Prince called the Empress Dowager Huang Da Da, now some TV dramas hard to change into Huang Dad, completely do not understand the Manchu culture of idiots in the show limit.
