Personally, I prefer 嬤 ma1. 嬤嬤 looks cooler than 媽媽 IMO.
so, he is implying that he wanna use 嬤嬤 as "Mother", so I told him 嬤嬤 can mean Grandma, so
yar, that's it.
Quote:
While I agree that the modern usage of this character is for "grandmother", many sources seem to
indicate that 嬤 and 媽 are variants of each other, see The Chinese Etymology
I see, think the usage is from the need for some to write out 方言, like Cantonese and Hokkien.
Quote:
I have never seen 嫲 before, and by all acounts it is not in the standard character set, where
did you come across this character? Is it fairly common in your daily discourse?
I saw before in some Taiwanese show/webpage I think, not 100% sure, as 阿嫲
