কাকি

What does কাকি mean?

কাকি (kaki) is a Bangla noun that means aunt, paternal aunt in English.

Refers to one's paternal aunt, specifically the wife of a father's brother. Bangladeshi Muslims also commonly use the equivalent kinship term চাচি (chachi), though this word is universally understood and polite across all social groups. A frequent learner error is applying it to a maternal aunt, who must properly be called a খালা (khala) or মাসি (mashi).
