EN: Aunt (as a title)
The more formal, 'hacienda' version of 'Tita'. You use Tia when referring to your rich grand-aunt who lives in an ancestral house and probably has a Spanish surname. It's like 'Tita' but with old money vibes. 'Tita' goes to the mall; 'Tia' manages the family lands.
From Spanish 'tía' (aunt).
Often used before a name (e.g., Tia Maria). It is less common in everyday conversation than 'Tita' but is prevalent in literature, formal contexts, and among families with Spanish heritage.
