Making it Feminine and Plural
This word is the plural form of 'tía' (aunt). We add an 's' because it ends in a vowel, and the 'as' ending tells you we are talking about a group of females.
Talking about a mixed group
Mistake: “Using 'tías' to refer to an aunt and an uncle together.”
Correction: In Spanish, if there is even one male in the group, you must use the masculine plural 'tíos' to mean 'aunts and uncles'.
