I can not, however, picture moi Oma riding un rainbow-pooping unicorn :P

OUMA! I mean, oh a linguistical similarity, how quaint

Really? Teehee I haz un Oma y un Omi. And Opa and...had an Opi <3

 

aaah maternal and paternal distinctions, Afrikaans is missing those, Urdu on the other hand does not

 

I have a Daadi (Paternal Grandmother), but my Dada (Paternal Grandfather) is dead, from the Maternal side they are called Naani and I suppose Nana

 

and that's all the Urdu I know

 

I call my Matenal Grandparents Oupa and Ouma, 'cause they're Afrikaans, but my Ouma died earlier this year

 

Urdu iz un indigenous African language?

 

So did moi Opi in March...

 

no, Indian, well one Indian languages, the only other one I know of is Gujurati but I'm sure they are others

 

I remember a little more of Xhosa

 

Grandmother is = mamakhulu (big/great mother)

and Grandfather is = tatakhulu (big/great father)

 

or something similar

 

wait there's an u- in front of both of them...

 

because the only thing missing now is clicks....

Me too, but I've heard NewZealandy types calling their granparents Poppa...It always confuzzles me, cos I call my Mom and Dad, Mama and Papa respectively when we talk in German...
