ama .... ama ....ama

Question

I travel a lot , and ahora mismo en este momento , I was studying some Spanish vocabulary and found the Spanish word - ama - which means the lady of the house or the master lady or the landlady or the oldest lady in the house. now I am flashing back to all my experiences with this exact word in some spanish speaking cultures and also from Lebanese friends' family as I noticed that their kids when they fight together , tease each others or pretend to call in frightening .... they call ... ama ... ama ... ama ... like if they are calling for the help of the first lady who has the power in the house now it all make sense to me and how the understanding of the roots of certain words/expressions make sense when we learn . coooooooooooooooooooooool

Answer 1

I just love to hear these stories of learning experiences.

Thanks so much for sharing
