Ok,this is just a general question which came up into my mind.I just want to know that,if there’s a girl whom a guy introduces to his mom whom he wants to get married to,then what would the girl address/call the guy’s mom as?Can she call her as aunty or what?
Re: Addressing a guy’s mom
Anything tht makes hr comfortable …
Re: Addressing a guy’s mom
and how would one know what makes her comfortable when you talk with her for the first time ever?
Aunty/Mom should be fine
Aunty is fine... but mom? no way! you are just being introduced... you cannot call her mom yet.
Re: Addressing a guy’s mom
If you really want to win that woman’s heart, call her ‘aapi’ and then *realize later *that she is the mother :k: and then call her aunty.

Re: Addressing a guy's mom
let's say if you talk in Urdu with her,then how will you call her mem?i don't think that would sound good.

Re: Addressing a guy’s mom
Call her Sasoo maah , so she will get it straight that you are after her son for good
Either you going to win it all on that day or ya will be history …
that’s my Kiss ( keep it simple stupid ) policy 
Re: Addressing a guy's mom
surely an aunti would be the best way out as how can one call mom until and unless there is no affiliation and moreover later mom turns out to be the `real mother-in-law' and one regrets why the word of mom was chosen?
Re: Addressing a guy's mom
How about "Hameed ki amma"?
Re: Addressing a guy’s mom
^:omg:
no that phrase “Hameed ki amma” is reserved for “Hameed ke abbu” lol
Re: Addressing a guy’s mom
I knew my MIL was apprehensive about me marrying her son even before i met her… so as soon as i met my MIL, I called her ‘belle-mère’ which is mother in law in french… my hubby said to me before that i should just call her by her name… but i wanted to cement the fact that i will be marrying her son, whether she liked it or not, so inevitably she would become my MIL 
so IMHO, i would use any variation of the word ‘mom’.
Re: Addressing a guy's mom
if his name ws nt haammmend thn ....:D
Call her "aunti". It's just an introduction. The guy's mom hasn't accepted the girl as her bahoo or agreed to a marriage yet, so she should call her "aunti" because it is only an introduction.
Calling her "ammi" on first meeting is like rushing things and jumping to conclusions that there will be a guaranteed acceptance of rishta from the mom. And the guy's mom (possibly) might not like such confidence and assumption in the girl. Stick to "aunti", it has been tried and tested for generations in desi culture ;)
