In English there is just one word to describe them. Aunt means “Hala and teyze” , uncle means “dayı and amca”. However in Turkish they also give information about whether he/she is from mother side or father side. So Dayı is brother of mother, amca is brother of dad. Hala is sister of father, teyze is sister of mother.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Turkish
Teyze = Maternal Aunt ( Your mother's sister/Irmã da sua mãe)
Hala = Paternal Aunt ( Your father's sister/Irmã do seu pai)
Dayı = Maternal Uncle ( Your mother's brother/Irmão da sua mãe)
Amca = Paternal Uncle ( Your father's brother/Irmão do seu pai)

@Berk_t wowww that’s so niceeee 😂😂 in my language we don’t have differents words to describe too, that’s why I love to learn languages 😂😂 çok teşekkür ederimmmm for your answer ❤️❤️❤️

Teyze is the sister of the mother.
Hala is the sister of the father.
Dayı is the brother of the mother.
Amca is the brother of the father.
Also we generally call our mother’s friend as teyze if her age is enough to be our mother. And amca is for the father’s friend.
But it is generally. If a man is very close to your mother, they are like sister and brother you can call him as dayı too.
