中文介绍

中文的亲属称谓比英语细分得多:英语一个「uncle」对应伯父、叔叔、姑父、舅舅、姨父,中文却各有专称,而且区分父系与母系。父系(爸爸一边)的兄弟称伯父/叔叔、姐妹称姑妈;母系(妈妈一边)的兄弟称舅舅、姐妹称姨妈。称谓里还带着亲疏:直系(祖辈、父母、子女、孙辈)、旁系(兄弟姐妹及其子女、堂表亲)、姻亲(配偶的家人)。

对学中文或与中国家庭打交道的人,这套称谓既是语言知识也是社交礼仪——称呼对了,关系就近了。实际交往中,年轻一代也常用「伯伯/阿姨」等泛称替代精确称谓,但了解本工具里的对应关系,能帮你读懂家谱、听懂家庭对话,也避免把「爸爸的姐姐」叫成「阿姨」这种尴尬。

常见问题

uncle 在中文里到底叫几种?

至少四种:伯父(父之兄)、叔叔(父之弟)、姑父(父姐/妹之夫)、舅舅(母之兄弟)。

妈妈的妈妈怎么称呼?

外婆(也作姥姥,各地叫法不同),妈妈的爸爸称外公(姥爷)。

中国称谓为什么这么细?

宗族观念强,区分父系母系、长幼与亲疏,体现传统家庭伦理;现代口语有简化趋势。

English

Chinese kinship terms are far more specific than English ones: the single English word "uncle" maps to at least four distinct Chinese terms — 伯父 (father's older brother), 叔叔 (father's younger brother), 姑父 (father's sister's husband), and 舅舅 (mother's brother) — and Chinese keeps the paternal and maternal lines strictly separate. The paternal side (father's family) calls brothers 伯父/叔叔 and sisters 姑妈; the maternal side (mother's family) calls brothers 舅舅 and sisters 姨妈. Terms also encode distance: direct line (grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren), collateral (siblings and their children, cousins), and in-laws (a spouse's family).

For anyone learning Chinese or dealing with a Chinese family, these terms are both language knowledge and social etiquette — address someone correctly and the relationship opens up. In practice, younger generations often use looser forms like 伯伯/阿姨 (uncle/auntie), but knowing the precise mapping in this tool helps you read a family tree, follow family conversations, and avoid the awkwardness of calling your father's sister "auntie" when she's specifically your 姑妈.

FAQ

How many Chinese terms does 'uncle' map to?

At least four: 伯父 (father's older brother), 叔叔 (father's younger brother), 姑父 (father's sister's husband), and 舅舅 (mother's brother).

What do you call your mother's mother?

外婆 (also 姥姥 in some regions). Your mother's father is 外公 (or 姥爷).

Why are Chinese kinship terms so detailed?

Strong clan tradition separates paternal/maternal lines, seniority and closeness, reflecting family ethics. Modern speech is gradually simplifying them.
