How to Say “Parents” and “Grandparents” in Chinese

生词 (shēngcí) Vocabulary  

爸爸 (bàba): n dad/ father  
“爸爸 (bàba)” is the most commonly used Chinese phrase for dad. But some people use “爹 (diē)” to refer dad.

Dad, I want to go to the sea world this weekend.

Hǎode, bǎobèi
B: 好的, 宝贝。  
OK, sweetie.

妈妈 (māma): n mom/ mother  

“妈妈 (māma)” is the frequently used phrase for mom. However, just like “爸爸 (bàba),” people sometimes use “娘 (niáng)” instead of “妈妈 (māma).”

Example:
Māma, mǔqīnjié kuàilè!
A: 妈妈, 母亲节 快乐!  
Mom, happy Mother’s Day!

Xièxiè, wǒde bǎobèi.
B: 谢谢,我的 宝贝。  
Thank you, sweetheart.
