This may be crazy but what do you call your grandpa&Grandma? Not their names. Like wen u’r calling them wat do u say? Thnks :D
 
I used to call them Nan or Nanny and Granddad.

My son calls his Nan and Pop.

well i only talk in arabic to any relatives...1) there accents in english make it sound like we chinese and 2) it sounds better :D

and grandma....well i would call her Geditee, but i havent because she died already and i was like 2 so i didnt call her nothin... :D

I call my grandma badi ammi(moms side) and dado(dads side) lol. Grandfather I call nana abu(moms side) and dad side i dont remember Lol. This is in Urdu btw...lol.
 
I called my both grandma and grandad on mom's side "Tok", my grandad dad's side "Aki" (pronounce like "Akee") and grandma "Wan" (pronounce like one "want" minus the alphabet "t".
May Allah bless them.
 
My first language is Penangite Malay... so I call my grandfather as "Wan" (pronounciation "One") and my grandmother as "Tok" (pronounciation "Tow-k")
