[quote=LEONARDO,310648]Quote: >>LEONARDO , culture in different provinces of China are quite different,in my hometown,it is not polite to call a person"老人(old man)"..when we say:" please send my regard to your parents",we will just say"请代我向叔叔阿姨问好(please send my regards to unti and uncle" << Sonia, yup, the culture and customs vary from one province to another. We also say "请代我向叔叔阿姨问好", when we mean to "please send my regards to your parents(aunt&uncle). Well, as I said to Danny in the previous post, if a friend wants to ask you to send his regard to your parents, he may say:" please send my regard to your parents" (In Chinese," 请代我向老人问好"). (Suppose your parents are senior citizens, the addressing works).If my parents reach their mid-70s, they won't mind if someone addresses them as" 老人".[/quote]
