some ppl call "Great"-whatevers just the basic thing. like you'd be summoned by the kid as plain "uncle sumo" or maybe a fam tags you with an abbreviated form like "Unc" or some other nickname for the person. We never called my great grandma "grandma" at all. she had a nickname "Bonner", but if I was telling my friend who she was I'd tell them she was my great grandma.
My great grandson knows his great aunt as "Ma-ah" which is a cultural affectionate term for grandma. the fam is teaching him that- although he doesn't SAY it yet.
But technically a grandpa's bro would be great uncle and you add another great for every previous generation right?
Yes, grams is talking nicks. Otherwise her great grandmas mom would be great Bonnie

yeah, that's the Family Tree descriptive. but I've never seen anyone say "Hello great-uncle Joe" much less great-great uncle Joe.
It just seems like how ppl actually address their relatives (speaking to them) changes more & more, the further on out they are on the family tree.
or just in my world? LOL.
or just in my world? LOL.
That's because it's too long to address someone as hey great great grandma in your typical conversation
