The aunts and uncles

In Chinese, the words used for aunts and uncles are different depending on whether they are on the mother's side or father's side of the family. '舅舅' is your mother's brother, '舅妈' is your mother's brother's wife, '叔叔' is your father's younger brother, and '阿姨' can refer to your father's younger brother's wife, or your mother's sister. This distinction in Chinese more precisely captures the familial relationship compared to English.
