This May 10, Mother’s Day in Mexico, we want to review some loving and creative ways to call moms. Undoubtedly, their place in the family and importance in our growth is vital, for this reason as children we appreciate their affection, sacrifice and unconditional love. Find out in our note how many creative ways Mexicans have to address their mothers.
This is the most used and common form in Mexico and Latin countries. Everything indicates that the origin of this word lies in Latin (a dead language). The original Latin term was “mámma”, which means according to translations “teat” or “mamella” in reference to the action of breastfeeding a child, a daily action and of the utmost importance in upbringing.
This is perhaps one of the most formal ways, however, that does not mean that it does not express affection, but it does establish a clear respect. According to the RAE, the meaning of mother is “a woman who has conceived or has given birth to one or more children”.
This is a short way of calling your mom, it comes from shortening the original word. It is one of the most used not only in Mexico but in Latin America. Clearly, the term denotes a lot of closeness and trust with the mother figure, thus highlighting a special bond.
Amá is another type of cut from the original word ‘mama’. These terms arose from the use of speech and the original term that, when emitted in a voice, omits certain sounds. Evolving thus in new cut terms.
One of the most affectionate ways used to address a mother is the term ‘mamita’, used a lot in Mexico and also in Latin America. It is a diminutive that expresses a lot of love and closeness. In certain Spanish-speaking areas, the term “mamaíta” can even be used according to the RAE.
Again, according to the Royal Spanish Academy, ‘mamacita’ is widely used in Mexico and Central America. Although it can be addressed to the girlfriend and/or wife as a compliment, it is also used for mothers as a sign of great affection and affection.
Despite being an ambiguous term in some areas, it is not frowned upon to use it for the progenitors.
Another diminutive of an affective-colloquial nature is ‘mami’. Like mamita, mamacita and other terms, it also arose from the original word “mama”.
This term is particular to Mexicans to refer to their mother, denoting a lot of respect and alluding to the fact that he addresses her as someone of superior rank. It is believed that when considering mothers as a model of authority in the home and family, the term was adapted to the family bosom.
As you must already suppose, this term is a diminutive variant of the aforementioned word ‘Boss’. This is a peculiar and unique way, characteristic of Mexico, which manages to mix in ‘Jefecita’ a tone of respect and affection.
