Quote:

If you know this person herself quite well, would you still call her "Huang nushi" ?

No, I’ll 直呼其名/ directly call her name or 给她起外号/ call her moniker.



Quote:

And if you know her husband well, do you still call her "Huang nushi" ?

If I at first know her husband, and then through him I know this lady, I’ll also call her name,
instead of Huang nushi.

I think either Huang nushi or Lin tai tai is for kinda of strangers, not for friends who you know
quite well.

Thank you elina! With your reply, I realized how stupid my questions were.










GreatFrank -

hey, that was not really stupid as there are so many ways that to call a well-kown person,
it basically depends on how and where did you know this person.

give you a example, if you she's one of your colleaques,you can call her straight by her name/ or
you can call "xiao+last name"e.g: 小黃（xiao huang）,小李(xiao li)。however it is ok to use
this way but it's a little old fashioned.
if you got in touch with this person privately, then you can call her/him anything resonable.
-----------------------------------------
one more thing need to pay a close attention on that sumtime it's rude and unacceptable callin a
adult by his/her nickname, specially when introducing to the others or on sum formal occasions.
