It was Nana and Gramps
Only my nan left now.
Surprised to see no other grampses. I think it's a good way of shortening Granddad as a word.

Re: Grandparents
Lolo and Lola (Filipino for grandpa and grandma, respectively). Both of my Lolo are dead. My mama's mom is still alive, sometimes I call her Inang (another dialect meaning mother). My dadio's step-mom is still alive, I call her Grammy.
Re: Grandparents
Gramma and Grampa (deceased). I'm Canadian.

Didn't know you were Austrian. Love Austria; can't wait to go back one day!Phigure wrote:i'm austrian

And yeah opa and oma are recurring names in most if not all Germanic or Germanic-influenced languages.
I never new my grandfathers, but I had 2 grandmothers. I called one "meter" (which is the Dutch term for godmother, even though she wasn't my godmother; absolutely no clue why I called her like that) and I call the other one mémé which, apparently, is a name given to a lot of grandmothers around Ghent, which is where she & my father are from.
