[that 420 guy]

in your native tongue:

what is the word for 'mother'?

what other variations of the word 'mother' are used?

what does the word 'mother' look like when written down?

my native tongue is english.
mother = mom, mommy, mama, ma

when written down (by a sith lord), mom looks like this

All I can think of now is "do you wanna bang heads with me?".

Here's my mom holding a fish while standing on the ice at my cottage.
I call her Mum. In english or french. And I call her "Yes Motherrrrrrr" when she's asking me to do countless chores for her

She's an awesome Mother... and I'm truely fortunate to have her. Her name is Ange-Marie, and she's practially a saint.

 

[Ditto Much]

proper would me moeder but generally I call her moederka in response to her calling my Yeffka or kincha which are both technically derogatory in the specific dialect she speaks.

My dad used to call me 'rotte zak' which translates into something like "rotten bag", but I always assumed he meant it in love. RIP old man I hope your religion was wrong or you're burning in hell.

 

[Skipper]

I call her Mum.

 

[grounded4life]

[Ditto Much]

Speaking of moms, I'm still pissed off at my mom for selling my car without permission and not sending me the money.


Damn you mother!!

 

[sugar]

I still call mine Mummy and my dad Daddy.

 

[that 420 guy]

oh norm. are you learning again?

the many names for mother came up yesterday at a friend's baby blessing (alternative to baby shower). i noticed that the sound of the letter 'm' was common among the different languages for the word 'mother'. i wanted to see how many other languages use that sound when refering to 'mother' and what better place to get a wide sample of cultures than here on tribe.

I'd be curious to know what y'all call your grandparents.

you can find out what name people from this board call their grandparents here
