Language / Spelling "aunt" in Polish [142]

I would rather say "dziadziuś" for my grandfather. But it's harder to pronunce, I know ;-)

I've never heard of "busia", too. Maybe some children use it, I don't know, but I can't imagine an adult calling his grandmother "busia", really.

Oh! And 2 year old children I know use "baba" rather than "busia" (it's easier to pronunce and is similar to "tata" and "mama" - children who start talking often use this kind of words, with repetition of one syllable - "bumbum" for a car, "miał-miał" for a cat, etc. At least, that's what they've told us at the lectures :-))
