[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] ??? My children call their Grandmother "Mamie" because she's French and it's the accepted French term for "Grandma" (Papi is Grandpa). I never knew there was a racist connotation to it, and honestly wouldn't care, as long as the recipient is fine with it. [/quote] Are you the OP? Mammy (which is not an ok name for anyone’s grandma these days) is pronounced differently than the French Mamie. But surely you already know this. [/quote] PP you replied to. I am not OP, I am French, living here in the US, but solely from reading the words, I would pronounce them the same way. Are they not? Mamie is pronounced with an open "A" sound. [/quote] They’re pronounced very differently. An American would not recognize Mamie as sounding like Mammy. You’re fine. This thread is not about Mamie.[/quote] Ask Siri how to pronounce Mamie in French. [/quote]
