Ma tante.

You will see 'mon' used with feminine nouns if that noun starts with a vowel.

For example:

My friend (female) -> Mon amie.

[wraith halo]

Ohh

Thank you I get it

[lethal sparrow]

*not directly the noun, just whatever the next word starts with

Mon amie
Ma meilleure amie

Ma maison
Mon ancienne maison

[lunar blade]

Good point.

In short, it's an easier version of the a/an rule in English.

In French the possessive depends on the noun, not the person to whom it is connected.

[wraith halo]

Ohh yes

When would i say mon tante? Is it usually ma tante though

[lunar blade]

Unless it's some slang term with another meaning: never.

I can't find examples where 'mon tante' is not a mistake.

[wraith halo]

So i would always say ma tante? Idk why google said ma/mon

[lunar blade]

You would, yes.

[fiery peak]

it's not

so never, indeed
