The Literal Relative (Aunt) for the sister or sister-in-law of your mother or father.

🗣 Ba- la-EH
•

English does not have a direct word for this relationship, so it is often translated using descriptive terms like Co-parents-in-law or just in-laws  

The Relationship Explained - If your child marries someone, that person’s parents are your balae. 

In Filipino culture, this term is used not just to define a relationship, but as a title of respect when addressing them directly e.g., “Kumusta, Balae?”
