What is a very familiar way to say "mother" and "grandmother" in Portuguese?
Since no answers presented the southern brazilian version, I will:(English: Portuguese / familiar, childlike / “cherished” form / in Bahia and other northeastern states / in Rio Grande do Sul, gaúcho version)Mother: mãe / mamāe / mãezinha / mainha / manhê (“Manhêê!”)Grandmother: avó / vovó, vó / vovozinha, vózinha(?)Father: pai / papai / paizinho / painho (“paín-u”) / paiê (“Paiêê!”)Grandfather: avô / vovô, vô / vôzinho, vovozinhoInteresting quibble: how to distinguish the diminutive of “pai” from “país”? “Paizinho” and “paisinho”? And the diminutives of “vó” and “voz”? I can only think of “vózinha” from “vozinha”…In Rio Grande do Sul (dunno if in other places of Brazil was so upheld as in the south) there was a traditional familiar “institution” that was the dinda/dindo: generally a close relative (an aunt/uncle) that was the baptism “madrinha/padrinho” of the child, and would usually be an important secondary figure (besides the parents) for the kid in his/her first ten/twenty years, by bringing birthday presents and such (“olha, a dinda te trouxe um presente!”). Now this thing of dinda/dindo isn't (apparently) that much frequent as it used to be…

What are the Arabic words for Grandma and Grandpa?
In MSA it’s جدة or Jadda, not to confuse with the city Jeddah which is written the same way. If you want to refer to your grandmother you say جدتي or Jaddati meaning my grandmother.In Levantine we have several variations:ست Sett which is formal and means grandmother or in some cases it a mother out of respect or lady; for example, when we want to say the name of Mary mother of Jesus we say ستنا مريم or settna Maryam, which translates to our mother Mary. It’s used among Muslims and Christians in the same way.تيتي/تيتة Teete or Teeta or Teeti and that’s how you would usually call your grandma, it’s very similar to granny in usage. The last vowel changes from city to another, in Homs they go with i, in Beirut they go with a, in Damascus the go with e. In cities that don’t use Teeta, that word usually means a grandmother, not specifically yours, but still not as formal as Sett.نانا Naana which is unique to Aleppo and came from Turkish ننه Nine which came from Persian ننه Nane, I’m not sure of the Persian pronunciation. When referring to some grandmother not specifiacally yours you say نانة or Naane, still not as formal as Sett.My dialect is Aleppine, but my paternal grandma passed away before my dad got married, so I only use Nana when mentioning her name. My mom is Homsi, so I use Teete for my maternal grandma; it should be Teeti in Homsi but by default I change (i) to (e) to fit my dialect because the Homsi vowels are the opposite of the others.
Grandpa and Grandma in Portuguese?
here ur translation: grandmother = vovó/avó grandma = vó (as "vo" of voice") grandfather = vovô/ avô grandpa = vô (as "vo" of "vougue") its not true that the most common form to talk about one's granparents is "vô"(grandpa) and "vó" (grandma)! it depends on the what u feel about them... as its not true that almost only young children use "vovô" and "vovó"! many times its used to refer to old ppl that they r not our grandparents - just as a way to show respect and caress in the same time! p.s.: kitty, its ok so!! just a misundertood... never mind!
What are some affectionate names in Czech for a young girl?
Novel research :3 I have two Czechoslovakian characters, a girl and her grandmother. The girl calls her grandmother 'Babi', and I need a Czech term of endearment for her grandmother to use. It doesn't have to be a direct translation of 'girl' or 'grand daughter.' Anything expressing affection, like 'love' and 'darling.' Any help appreciated!

What are the Russian words for Grandma and Grandpa?
The words бабушка [babushka] and дедушка [dedushka] are not only ones that Russian children use to address their grandparents.To call them by their names, e.g. to say “grandpa Vasya” or “grandma Olya”, Russian natives will often use the words деда [dyeda] and баба [baba]:“деда Вася” = “grandpa Vasya”“баба Оля” = “grandma Olya”Also, the word бабушка [babushka] can be used as a form of address to a very old lady. For example, on a city bus, if you need to get off on the next stop and you want to know if the lady standing in front of you is getting off as well (or to ask her to move politely), you can say:Бабушка, вы выходите? [Babushka, vy vy-HO-dite?]However, be careful when you use this word as a form of address. It can only be used with a person who really looks like an old Russian babushka (usually they will wear a kerchief). Otherwise, it can be offensive.
