Some Chinese words...

Here are some Chinese words for family members, thought you'd like to know.

Mom (Alli)- Ma ma
Dad/Father (Gary)- Ba ba
Grandma (Margaret)- Lao Lao
Grandma (Judy)- Nai Nai
Grandpa (John)- Lao Ye
Grandpa (Ron)- Ye ye
Great Grandma (Dorothy & Viola)- Lao nai nai
Great Grandpa (Lew)- Lao ye ye
Aunt/Auntie (Liz & Beth and others)- a yi
Uncle (Tom, Johnny, Steve and others)- Shu shu
Cousin (Jess, Jodi, Noah, Owen, and others)- biao qin


There are a ton of different words dependent on who's Mother, who's father and so on. These are the ones I've figured out so far. I think Gary and I have the easiest with Ma ma and Ba ba.


Enjoy!!

Love to everyone~
~Alli & Gary
