What do you call your family?

im chinese and i call my dad daddy, mom mommy, older brother gege. it is disrespect to call family by their name, so like gege means older brother, and that is what i use to call my brother. there are also other things i use to call my grandparents, but id ont know how to spell it XD

I'm from the United States, Illinois. I call my mother "mom" I call my father "dad" I call my grandmother "grandma" my grandfather "grandpa" and my brother by his name.

I'm from Philippines, I call my father Tatay, and my mother Nanay. Here we usually call our grandparents Lolo and Lola. I'm the eldest in the family, my younger sisters and brothers call me Ate.

i agree with you, we have different call for our family because were living in different country with different languages. me, i call my father "Papa", some are calling there father "Daddy, Tatay", my mother "Mama", some are calling there mother "Mommy, Nanay" and i call my sister and brother by their name. but they called me "Ate" as sign of respect as their older sister, "Kuya" if its older brother, "Bunso" if younger sibling.

I will my parents, Mama(mother) and Papa(father). Grandparents as Lola or Nanay (grandma) and Lolo or Tatay (grandpa). See...I replied... :)

I'm from the Philippines too. However, I call my mom and dad, Mommy and Daddy. But when we were teenagers, my sister and I started calling them "Momsie" and "Dadsie" because we thought it was a lot cuter. My sister calls me "Ate", the tagalog word for Elder sister and I call my eldest brother "Kuya" (older brother) but I have 3 other older brothers so I call them "Kuya (Brother's name)". My nephews and nieces call me "tita" (aunt). I thought elder sister in Chinese was "Achie"? Maybe what I heard was just a dialect. Anyways, good topic. Thanks.

This is a good topic, my friend. Let your good ideas roll. Well, in the Philippines, we commonly call our mother "nanay", "inay" or "mama". I prefer to call my mother mama because I find it very dearly and respectful. For my father, Filipinos usually them "tatay", "itay" or "papa". Like Mama, I prefer to call him papa because that's is so courteous I guess. My parents call each other "Jong". They say it means lover or sweetheart. I don't need to know the real meaning of the words. All I know is those are words to express my deep love and respect for them.

hey by what name do u call ur boyfriend in chinese..??
