Answer 2

You mean "Vieja"

Le llevaré un regalo a mi "vieja".

Le llevaré un un regalo a mi abuela.

Good luck from Venezuela.

tomas-xenix definently said it best. When spoken by natives they may have an accent that makes it sound the way you heard it to be. One thing I would like to point out, vieja literally means old, and call your grandma vieja or viejita might not be something she's fond of. It's sort of like calling her oldie. Hope that helps put it all into perspective.

Answer 3

That would be yaya, it is an endearing term all children use for their grandmother here in Spain

yayo, ya.

(De or. inc.) . 1. m. y f. abuelo.

1. m. pl. El yayo y la yaya.

Answer 4

Maybe yeya... it sounds like abuela.

Answer 5

In Checking all the "usual suspects" I don´t find " Yeha" at all.

Answer 6

I've heard "abuelita", but I wouldn't call it slang. My grandma is sweet so I always use that diminutive when talking about her.

Answer 7

Not really :( .
