Japan

Artist: Keigo

Hi! My name is Keigo. I am a boy and and 9 years old. I like to play baseball and soccer. I call my grandmother "Ba-chan". Her house is far from here and she is working yet. I can not meet her often but she take me a short trip with her once or twice in a year. I can learn Japanese traditional food from her cooking. I want to present delicious ice cream for her birthday.

grandmother in Japanese:

obaachan, obasan, obaba,

obaachan is usually we use for grandmother. obaasan is a little bit polite way to say.

If you talk about your own grandmother, you may say obaacha for friendly. And if you want to say another person's grandmother, you'll say it for obaasan for polite.

Obaba maybe uses in local places not in the city.

Those are the Japanese words for grandmother.

Thanks,
Isamu
