Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How do you say "Mom" in Chinese?

Answer: Ma Ma

A more formal way to address your female parent would be "Mu Qin", which is the equivalent of "Mother" in Chinese. "Ma Ma" is a less formal form.

2. How would you say the informal word "Dad" in Chinese?

Answer: Ba Ba

"Fu Qin" is the equivalent for "Father" in Chinese. Just like in English, "Fu Qin" is a more formal way to address your Dad.

3. In Chinese, what would you call your paternal grandfather - Grandpa on your Dad's side of the family?

Answer: Ye Ye

"Zu Fu" is another way to say "Grandpa" in Chinese. It is rarely used and is the formal way of addressing your father's father.

4. In Chinese, what do you call your paternal grandmother - Grandma on your Dad's side of the family?

Answer: Nai Nai

If you want to address your father's mother in a formal way, you should use the form "Zu Mu". It is rarely used, however.

Some families also call their Lao Ye "Wai Gong" and their Lao Lao "Wai Po".

Answer: Gu Ma

The husband of your Gu Ma is your Gu Fu - your uncle on your Dad's side of the family.

Answer: Jiu Jiu

The wife of your Jiu Jiu would be your Jiu Ma - your aunt.
