The American culture has it easy when it comes to extended family terminology. In my culture we have terms for everyone and of course it matters whether or not it's masculine or feminine and on which side of the family the member is on, along with if they are married or not. For example my dad has three brothers and only one of them is not married. Literaly translated, the married brothers are called Little Father (since they are younger than my dad) and the unmarried one is just uncle.
