The reason i thought it might of been “mister” is because both of them were strangers when they met
But since xie Liao was brought into the xie family, it would be more appropriate for him to call xie fengtong “uncle”
Idek anymore
Damn, I really hate English.. even I’m getting confused now, like Chinese is so convenient, one word could describe a lot of stuff .. (sorry, I’ll stop yapping now)
If that’s how the author intended it to be, it's a better choice to use "uncle" instead imo, keeping the original meaning and wording of the story is important
please not uncle. that sounds so creepy in english and incestous. using the translated versions is not always best because they carry different annotations in english. just like how it’s better to leave “hyung” untranslated rather than “bro”, leaving it as “shushu” is better.
Hi, first of all thank you for your hardwork translating this for us to read.
I'm "keep source format" team so if uncle part is deliberate then uncle it is. Keeping shushu is also okay, because to me at the end of the day they're still couple who's family on legal papers AND with large age-gap. (Personally I think author is deliberate to make this weird LOL)
I just reread the raws, it seems like xie Liao is indeed referring xie fengtong as “uncle” (not mister) when he calls him shushu (叔叔)
Do you guys prefer if I continue to translate the 叔叔 as “shushu” when xie Liao refers to xie fengtong as that or should I change it to “uncle”
