翻譯 Translation
Xiaoshi Mark, look! My family and I went to Taitung last weekend.
Mark: Wow! What a beautiful photo. There are so many people in your family.

Mark: Is this younger-looking person your second “a-yi”?
Xiaoshi: No, She’s my “gugu.”
Mark: “A-yi” and “gugu”... what’s the difference?
Xiaoshi: “Gugu” is my father’s sister, and “a-yi” is my mother’s sister.
