Georgia wants to be the cool kid (1 Viewer)

Many languages worldwide have similar words for mom and dad. For mom, many have m and the vowels a or o (eomma, mama, madre, ect), while dad tends to have sounds like t, d, or p, as well as e or a (appa, dada, padre, dad). But just to be special, Georgians call their dad “mama”, and their moms “deda”. Because why not right?
