The Aeolian mode is the sixth mode of the major scale, that is, it is formed by starting on the sixth degree of the major scale. For example, if the Aeolian mode is used in its all-white-note pitch based on A, this would be an A-minor triad, which would be the submediant in the relative major key of C major.
[4] The actual meaning of the term "Aeolian cadence" is that a major key song resolves on the vi chord, which is the tonic chord of the relative minor key (the Mahler ends on the major tonic with an "added 6th," not on a VI chord.) The term derives from the fact that the Aeolian mode is rooted on the sixth step of the major scale.
While the term "mode" is still most commonly understood to refer to Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, or Locrian modes in the diatonic scale; in modern music theory the word "mode" is also often used differently, to mean scales other than the diatonic.
