General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters | | English term or phrase: I have an Armenian mom, and a Russian dad (papa). | Hello,
I was wondering how this sentence would be said in Armenian? - "I have an Armenian mom and a Russian dad (papa)>" < У меня мама армянка, а папа руский.
I know that mayr and hayr are the formal words for "mother" and "father" in Armenian and that mama is informal like English "mom /mama." However, I don't know how "dad" and "papa" are translated in Armenian.
In English, "dad" (or "daddy") is becoming the most common informal word for "father." Some people still use "papa," "pappy" or "pops" but these words seem to be disappearing as the United States becomes more urbanized.
Thanks in advance for the help. I appreciate all answers.
Sincerely,
Brian Costello |
