How would someone say "grandfather" in Chinese?
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2007 12:38 am
I have a question for a story I'm writing, and I would be very grateful if people could help me with this!
What would someone call his Chinese grandfather? Would he use different words depending on whether he is close to his grandfather or not? Would he use different words depending on whether he is speaking directly to his grandfather or speaking about his grandfather to someone else? Are the words different in different Chinese dialects?
I would also like to know the answers to the same questions about "grandmother".
Thanks! (^_^)
