How do you say uncle in Bengali?

The Bengali word for "uncle" depends on the specific relationship to the uncle:

Maternal Uncle:

* Mamu (মামু) - This is the most common term for maternal uncle.

Paternal Uncle:

* Kaka (কাকা) - This is the most common term for paternal uncle.

There are other less common terms for uncle, such as:

* Mama (মামা) - Can be used for both maternal and paternal uncle, but it's more common for maternal uncle.

* Chacha (চাচা) - This is another term for paternal uncle, but it's less common than "Kaka."
