General "uncle":
* Tonton (pronounced "ton-ton") - This is the most common and general way to say "uncle." It can refer to any uncle on either side of the family.
* Onk (pronounced "onk") - This is another common term for "uncle," but it is less formal than "tonton."
Specific "uncle":
* Tonton [name] - You can add the uncle's name after "tonton" to be more specific. For example, "Tonton Jean" would mean "Uncle Jean."
* Onk [name] - Similarly, you can add the uncle's name after "onk" to be more specific. For example, "Onk Marie" would mean "Uncle Marie."
* Papa [name] - If the uncle is very close to the speaker, they might use "Papa [name]" to address him, similar to "Dad [name]" in English.
* Manman [name] - If the uncle's wife is close to the speaker, they might use "Manman [name]" to address him, similar to "Mom [name]" in English.
It's important to note that the use of these terms can vary depending on the region and family traditions.
For example, in some families, "tonton" may only be used for uncles on the father's side, while "onk" is used for uncles on the mother's side. It's always best to ask someone who is familiar with the specific family and region to be sure.
