So it seems that in the next novel that there will be lots of formal family titles that are used and unfortunately if I were to translate it it would be read very weirdly or if I were to use the English version of it, it would be over simplifying it.
Example:
Tangjie, what are you doing? Biaoge,did you see what she is doing?Translated to:
[Exact translation]
Father's brother's daughter who is older than me, what are you doing? Mother's brother's son who is older than me, did you see what she is doing?[English version of the title]
Cousin, what are you doing? Cousin, did you see what she is doing?So I will be using the pronunciation of the Chinese character to retain the meaning behind the words and decided to put up this post to put up the meaning of each title. This post will consist the basic family titles and will be updated if the novels touches more than this.
