How it's used

Using this term carries a strong connotation of disrespect or rudeness, as it implies the person is aging, unrefined, or meddlesome. It is never used as a polite address for a stranger, unlike the more neutral or respectful 阿姨. Calling someone this often signals that you are annoyed by their behavior or that you view them as an intrusive, older woman.

Common mistake

Learners often mistake this for a neutral term for an older woman, but using it to address someone directly is highly likely to cause offense. Always prefer 阿姨 if you need to address a woman older than you in a public setting.
