So the hands are called those terms or the handlers?

This masi has ceated a lot a confusion. In Sindhi Maasi is used for Khala.. but with the increasing hadharan new girls, kaam wali masis are also increasing. So original Maasi(Mother’s sister) now insist on calling them Khala

my fatr still calls his khalas massi , it a punjabi word

Re: How you address peoples in your culture?

maasi/mausi is commonly used in north india too. bengalis call their aunts maashi. calling servants maasi was a way to being nice to them/considering them family.

Am I the only one who thinks "bibi" is used in a derogatory sense in Pakistan?

I would think that someone might use bibi as a condescending term - but I don't see it as being derogatory. Am I missing some other connotation of bibi?

it is, but sometimes only...... as subtle sexism........ funny thing, some womenz get ticked off really bad if you call them bibi........:D

they get pissed for two reasons

1. bibi indicates a woman of older age...as in aunty'ish
2. indicates that since you is a woman...u no understand bibi!!!

I have seen it used in a dismissive way. Like how NomiCA put it, like trying to shrug them off.

I called this classmate of mine Khatoon, wouldn't do that with someone I didn't know. Sort of me trying to pick on her, but she was cool with it. I like using first names, following it with Sahab or Sahibah sounds more polite though. Sometimes I call my mom by her first name, when I'm feeling really cheery that is. "Hey S, kaisi ho?"

Yes its very respectful word in my culture too. like we refer to great women in Islamic history (including Umhaat ul momineen) as Bibi.
