Translation of family terms? Goo Poor Ti / Ga Ga

[baksha]

This should be simple, but...

What is the English translation of a woman relative who was called in Cantonese "Goo Poor Ti" ? Is that Grandauntie?

Anyone heard of the term : Ga Ga for a foster mother?

Thanks for the reference Doug !

I didn't find my phrase in there... Anyone else have an explanation for this family term 姑婆太?

太 is used for third generation above you, great grandfather's generation. See table in the link provided by Doug.

姑婆太 is great great aunt, great grandfather's sister.
