Hello all,

I'd like to invite you to post here how kids call their mother in your language. The more exotic, the better!

Best,

Isabel

Italian is not exotic enough, I'm afraid... Dec 12, 2008

I tell it all the same:

mamma, mammina, mammina bella,

I like to remember that 'mamma' comes from Lat. 'mamma' = mamma, breast
