EN: Aunt
Your 'tita'. She's the one who asks "May boyfriend/girlfriend ka na?" at every family reunion, gives you the best 'pamasko' (Christmas cash), and probably has a collection of essential oils or expensive bags. The official gatekeeper of family 'chismis' (gossip).
From Spanish 'tía' (aunt).
Often replaced in casual conversation by the more affectionate 'Tita'.
