Omg don't get me started with the 101 ways we call aunt and uncle in Hokkien. I could NEVER remember which one to use.
Aunt: Tua Ee, (insert number) ee, a-Kim, etc
Uncle: A-pek, a-tiao, kuku, a-chek etc
What we call them depends on whether they belong to the paternal or maternal side, and also by their seniority in the family. (for eg eldest to youngest).

And I thought #Finnish was complicated with four different words for "uncle".
