Korean Kinship Terms? What are your Father & Mother’s brothers &/or sister’s called?

So I’ve only been learning Korean for a Month and I decided to do Family member names today but I’m a bit confused;

I understand: Mum, Dad, Brother, Sister, Uncle, Aunty, Grandparents, Cousin,

But I’m now stuck on what you call your Mum’s brothers & sisters (and there partners), your fathers brothers and sisters (and there partners).

As they have different names if they are younger or older than your mum/dad right?

Can someone explain this to me in simple terms with the Hangul if possible?

(P.s. I found this on another yahoo question which I found really useful however it only says uncles and not aunties :/)

Mother's side:

Mom's brother (therefore, your uncle): Sahm-chon (삼촌)

Mom's brother-in-law (therefore, your uncle): Ee-moh-boo (이모부)

Dad's side:

Dad's older brother (therefore, your uncle): Keun-ah-buh-jee (큰아버지)

Dad's younger brother (therefore, your uncle): Jak-eun-ah-buh-jee (작은아버지)

Dad's brother-in-law (therefore, your uncle): Go-moh-boo (고모부)
