Mother - Madre // Mom - Mamá // Mommy - Mami or Mamita

muchas canciones te cantaré.

Answer 2

"Mommy" can be translated to "Mamá".

That is what my nieces used, shouted with increasing intensity and volume if they didn't get an immediate response :) - MaryMcc, Jul 27, 2011

Jajaja! - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 27, 2011

Not really. Mamá is Mom. - Agora, Jul 27, 2011

I have heard Mamá used for mom and mommy. - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 27, 2011

Answer 3

" Mami" for mommy, "Papi" for daddy. In Spanish seems the " i " is preferred over the " y".

when i worked with children in Mexico, these seemed to be the favorites... - toothpastechica, Jul 27, 2011

Answer 6

We were discussing this topic last night in my class when one of my students, a beautiful young Mexican girl, raised her hand and said: "Pues, yo tengo 23 años y todavía les digo "mami" y papi, y cuando hablo de ellos digo "mi amá o mi apá. This young woman is a really sharp student who really doesn't need my class. She's so good she could teach it. But here she is still using these cute chld-like loving words about her parents.

No, votes? Sheesh! I thought that girl was so cute! - Daniela2041, Nov 16, 2014

I still call my 89 year old parents, Mommy and Daddy. :) - sanlee, Nov 24, 2014

Sometimes these old posts come up and unless a person scrolls down to the last answer, they will never see your answer no matter how great it is and this one was a good one and I am not just saying that because we are amigas. - sanlee, Nov 24, 2014

This is interesting because I am still looking for good names for the grandchildren to call us. I thing i like áma y ápa. I have to see how it goes over with the kids.. - sanlee, Nov 24, 2014

Watch where you stick the accents. (lol) Try the last syllable. - Daniela2041, Nov 24, 2014

Answer 7

The only one i dont see on this list of pet names for mother is one that i have noticed a lot of young children use (or older children when they are being cheeky)...another form of Mamá but they would drop the M

Amá = sounds like ---ahMA

Hey, chica, I was going to post amá y apá, pero llegate primero al asunto. (One way of saying you beat me to it--see thread on this.) - Daniela2041, Nov 13, 2014

Pardon my typo on "llegaSte." - Daniela2041, Nov 13, 2014

I like that áma y ápa y llegaste primero al asunto. - sanlee, Nov 24, 2014
