I think they call by their names. It will be bit tough to call sister in law and all.

We address elder brother's wife as 'Bhabi'. How do The British address elder brother's wife. I am writing a story. So, I need this information.

They either call her by first name or 'sis'.

Garbage and trash are synonymous. For better understanding, please see the link:[/quote]

I do know that! My comment was in response to the displayed sign : Only Garbage No Trash! So how does a person understand here what is garbage and what is trash, a play on the words used!

The sister in law is addressed by her name only, her age and relation does not make any difference unlike our tradition of calling by specified names!

Exactly, most of the relations are limited to either first names or surnames there. They have their own ways of calling them.

I am a fluent speaker but i still get stuck sometimes when i am in an interview or on stage due to nervousness.
Foe me this is no issue as I had been in many countries where they speak English as contact language and as first language.
