What do young children call there parents in other languages?

I have a few friends that I like to call Mom and Dad, but I don’t think they can all be mom and dad, so I need some new names for them.

So what do Young children call there moms and dads in other countries/languages?

    In Russian: Matb (maht), Oteц (o-ets)

  2. mami and papi or ma and pa

  3. Mama or Papa

    Also, ‘there’ is spelled incorrectly for the way you’re using it.
    The possessive is ‘their’.

  6. Μαμά(mama) and μπαμπά(baba).In greek!

    Otoosan(long o,not u) and okaasan in japanese!

    That’s all I have…..:)
