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/ + ã•ã‚“ /san/ : older uncle
å”父 /o ji/ + ã•ã‚“ /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.
