in some ways jiujiu etc. manages to be more immediate than "uncle" because it directly evokes the characters' voices:
Ah, that's an interesting point, I hadn't considered the association with hearing it spoken in-show! (Probably also because I'm not a very audio-oriented person in general, haha.)
I think the only cases of "forms of address in different language from rest of text" I read growing up (which was before I got into animanga fandom) was like… the occasional French in Hercule Poirot novels? XD But colloquially IRL I've always used an all-over-the-place word salad of languages on the daily so I think I'm much more used to having that in spoken mediums than written.
Haha, I arrive at that point in every language eventually.
*shakes fist at the unconscious incompetence to conscious incompetence pipeline* Why!!
