What does Korean word ajumma mean in English?

Answer 1

It's an equivalent to "aunt" but not your relative aunt, it's more like any middle aged married lady. Koreans have this way of respect so instead of calling the next door lady by their name, they would call her "ahjumma" or if they go to a food stand and there's a middle aged lady selling dukkbokki there, they would call her ahjumma. sometimes you would see in korean dramas that these "old" ladies get "play" offended for being called ahjumma because that means they are not young anymore :D
