    Hi Everyone!

    I have a couple of quick questions for those with some knowledge of the Mandarin dialect. I'm not certain whether the term "gu ma" would be used by Mandarin speakers. I know that it is used in Cantonese and Toisanese.

    Would a Mandarin speaker use "gu ma" for senior paternal aunt? If not, what term would be used?

    Thanks in advance,
    Mike.
