Ek noem my ouma Granny. Ek hou daarvan om saam met my ouma te gaan roomys koop, omdat ek dan omtrent tien roomyse kry. My ouma noem my "Mouse" omdat ek so baie daarvan hou om kaas te eet. My ouma het my geleer om sjokolade mousse te maak. Ek is baie baie lief vir my ouma.

The way of saying grandmother in Afrikaans is Ouma (Ou as in obe, Ma as in Margaret)

The word for "grandmother" in Xhosa is umakhulu - pronounced "ooo maa koo lu"

The Zulu for GrandMom is Gogo, not as in "go for a walk" but as in the "o" in order.
