I like this. Congratulations! Hey listeners! We sat 3 Danes, 1 american and 1 English guy in a bar at the bar. So I’m stuck on what to be called?? But I have to mention the English ”F word”… This vulgar creature has crept into Danish from American films. In my family, we always use “Mamie” (that’s how we spell it). I don’t have children yet but when I do my dad will be called punk. Most people I know simply use it like English people use the word ”ouch!” Besides, you risk offending foreigners.) would be Din idiot! I call one oma and opa, g-ma and g-pa, and one gram-cracker and gramp-cracker. We shall see… (And I have NO idea why the name assigned to me is a question…). My God daughter calls me Gigi and she has Mom-mom & Pap-Pap. I now have younger children & nieces that pronounce it as either “Bamber” or “Bamboo” but it’s still mostly Gramber. What a perfect short and sweet nickname. On her dad’s side Pawpaw and Granny. I’ve work in CPH as a tour guide, and I always tell this story about swearing in Danish. These terms were created by adults who know full well how to pronounce “Grandma” and “Grandpa”. My Grandfather was Grumpy and my Grandmother was Grammy-ma….I think Grumpy was a mispronunciation of Grampy and Grammy-Ma came from me hearing my Mom calling her Mom all the time ” Ma…..Ma! – what if the whole thing meant ”Satan doesn’t collaborate on earth (only below it!! I would pronounce it like yah-g sak-nar d-eh. Now that I’m a Grandma I considered being Gaga G but then thought no, there is only one Gaga (til now lol). I mean, in Danish, the word ”fuck” has become so weak that it isn’t really a swear word. My mom’s grandfather mispronounced all of their names. Very cute! My father objected vigorously but was quickly overruled. My aunt’s grandchildren call her “Cookie”. he said, and jumped into a sea of the most delicious dishes. Required fields are marked *. Don’t forget tradition! I love it… my kids thought I was crazy for choosing it but there is nothing better than the sound of the little guy running through the house calling for LALA!!!! I realise they have borrowed it from American films but they appear to be in total ignorance how stupid and crude they sound and one young relative proudly informed me his teacher at school uses the F word. So to me she always resembled the Yams she’d make. Han var skide ligeglad. @Stephanie I’m new to the street we live in, but have lived in DK for almost 3 years. These words are derived from either German (Großpapa and Großmama) or Dutch (Grootpapa and Grootmama). I don’t think that anybody on this blog has ever said that language does not evolve. Our 2 year old granddaughter calls me Gaga and my hubby Grampsy and we love both of them — always wanted her to come up with names on her own and she sure did it!! Start Learning Danish in the next 30 Seconds with a Free Lifetime Account. MamMaw and PapPaw is a good variant. I chose that because my daughter started called me that sometimes when she was younger just because it rhymes with Mum and she is silly. Her tan skin like the outside of the Yams and her hair the color of the inside of the Yams. My name is Eva. Baby talk is only cute when they’re babies :). My mothers grandchildren called her Darna. Hi!! Perhaps even part in German. Jae Bee’s grandkids call their other grandpa by this affectionate and unique nickname. All rights reserved. Love is just love. Øv! I became a grandma at 38 so I didn’t exactly want to be called grandma so I’m Gaga. My son couldn’t say grandma or grandpa. Thank you to everyone who commented — please keep sharing fun nicknames for your children’s grandparents with us in the comments below! , I’m a 35 year old Dane. I grew up in north Louisiana. (literally: ”Devil’s good”), Din satans nar! @Stephanie Hej Stephanie! She used to say something in Danish which we were told was “Do you love me”. My sister and I grew up calling our grandparents Gram/Gramp and Nana/Papa. Some foreigners may be startled by the amount of ”toilet words” flying out of (some!) ), In this context, you may also note the word røv, which is used in a lot of contexts for that body part which can be really hard to get out of a sofa! It stemmed from me trying to say Grandmama and I said Grandmala instead. Those are north Louisiana and New Orleans, respectfully.
