Unlike men with Typ, usage of Tante by women to refer to themselves is a lot rarer and usually restricted to refer to a specific scene. (E.g. Motorradtante, 'biker chick'.) Calling a personal acquaintance a Tante therefore often carries a pejorative tone. ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== Erbtante Großtante Patentante Tante-Emma-Laden ==== Descendants ==== → Hungarian: tanti, tánti → Latvian: tante → Norwegian Bokmål: tante → Yiddish: טאַנטע (tante)→ English: tante === Further reading === “Tante” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache “Tante” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “Tante” in Duden online Tante on the German Wikipedia.Wikipedia de == Hunsrik == === Etymology === From French tante. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈtʰantə/ === Noun === Tante f (plural Tante) aunt === Further reading === Boll, Piter Kehoma (2021), “Tante”, in Dicionário Hunsriqueano Riograndense–Português, 3rd edition (overall work in Portuguese), Ivoti: Riograndenser Hunsrickisch
