What are the pet terms for mother/father in Spanish?
In English, we have pet terms for mother and father. For example: Mom, Dad, Mummy, Daddy, Mamma, Papa
In Spanish, they have madre/padre. But do they have any pet terms as well? Does it vary between Spanish speakers in Spain and Hispanic speakers in America? Ideally, I am looking for terms used by children primarily in America (USA). The most common ones. |
It varies between regions.
The usual in Mexico: - Mamá (the most "formal"), mami, mamita (these two are the most loving), má (not really tolerated in young kids; this is mostly said by older children), ... - Papá, papi, papito, pá... The first words babies are taught are "mamá" and "papá". ;) |
