How do you call different relatives?
**
In Sindhi:
**Mother: Amma, Jeeja, Jeejal, Amar
Father: Baba
Grandfather : Dhadha (Paternal side); Nanaa (Maternal Side) - Baba wadho is also used for both sides
Grandmother ; Dhadhi (Paternal side); Naani (Maternal Side) - Amma Wadhi is also used for both sides
Bhai : Ada / Bha
Behn : Adi / Bhen
Chacha zad = Sautu (male); Saute (female)
Mamoo zaad = Marootu (Male) ; Maarote (female)
Khala zaad = Maastu (Male); Maaste (female)
Phupi zaad = Puphaatu (Male) ; Puphaate (female)
Khala = Maasi (due to kaam karne wali maasi, now actual maasis in Sindh are in trouble and they request their nieces and nephews to call them khala )
Piyaz = Basar
Aaloo = Pataata (quite similar to English Potato. Some people also call it bataloo)
Timatar = Tamataa (quite similar to English Tomato. Some people also call it chamataa)
Baingan = Waangun
Lehsan = Thoom
Dhaniya = Dhanaa
Methi = Hurbho
Shaljam = Gogdoo
Faris Bhai, what are these called in Pashto. Also share with how different relatives (father, mother, brother, etc are addressed). We used to watch Peshawer TV drama 'Bisaat', where there was a koko gul, lalai, bibi gul.. Are these names used while calling relatives?
Zaitoon! I was in living in Jamshoro in 2000 Ramadan and I came to know about this word. I looked all over that shop and then realized that that was that larkano jo mitho jam!

So Rangoli, what do you call your siblings... My sisters call me Bha.. My parents do use 'Ada /Adi ' for their siblings. My Amma is called Baji in her Maika.. Even my cousins call her Baji :D
