"Thank you very much" would usually be "arigatou gozaimasu" (ありがとうございます・有難うございます) (present tense) or "arigatou gozaimashita" (ありがとうございました・有難うございました) (past tense). However, other expressions of thanks are possible, though not so common. Much depends on for what one wishes to express obligation.

"Auntie" would be "obasan" or "obachan" (おばさん or おばちゃん, respectively) if you want to be more or less formal, respectively.

The "auntie" part could be uttered before or after the "thanks" part.

How Do YOu Say Uncle In Japanese?

Uncle in Japanese is 'oji' and not 'jii'/'jiisan' or 'ojii'/'ojiisan'. All of those with long 'i' (shown with double 'i') mean 'old man, geezer, senior citizen etc' as well as 'grandfather'.The words for 'younger uncle' and 'older uncle' (than one's parents) are different (like older brother 'ani'/'oniisan' and younger brother 'otouto'). But both words are read the same: 'oji' and only differ n writing. For respect honorific 'san' will be added:伯父 /o ji/ + さん /san/ : older uncle叔父 /o ji/ + さん /san/ : younger uncle'Ojisan' can also be used when calling out to some one (vocative) usually by young people towards an older middle-aged person but it is considered below standard politeness.
