When in doubt, follow a néni
The word, “néni,” (NA-ni) is a respectful term used with the familiar form of an elderly woman’s given name. Thus, “Elizabeth “ becomes “Ergi” and if she is an elder, she becomes “Ergi néni.” (Be careful about using the term though, as I discovered one day. Do not use néni until it’s super duper obvious that a lady is a néni. Otherwise she might feel offended that you think she is old!)
