[whitneyevat]

For potential French friends learning Korean (like me) : Papaoutai?

[ffirdafz]

[green_tidepods]

[Kazajo]

I've been asking this for 14 years.

Alors on danse.

[Kiyomice]

He just went to buy a loaf of bread. But it's probably expired by many years now.

[cactuscoffeerose]

This isn't formal so how is it appropriate for appa?

[Laz.z.y]

Also want to know ~

[leesan55]

i think you meant why is the child speaking informal to the father right?

[justin_seagull95]

it's like father and dad right? one sounds more formal but people usually call their father's dad. maybe that's what it is

[Mariayeojin]

A lot of young Korean children speak informal to their parents, but change to formal as they grow older :)

[BenL520361]

That makes sense, they would certainly learn casual speech first with everyone around them speaking casual to them.

Out getting milk

[atc482]

I've asked this question for 30 years

[justin_seagull95]

He went to buy some milk duo, he'll be back soon

[AlexisRamyeon]

This owl really getting me in my feels ㅠㅠ

[zfender1]

Could this also be "dad, where are we?"

[LilyDrimm]

Yep but 우리 어디야 would've been beter for that

[SKYRYD3R]

'Abba' means dad in Hindi and Urdu also

[RuizAPR]

In Spanish casual speech, especially in Mexican Spanish, it's very common to drop the first "p" or "m" in papá or mamá respectively, so they become "apá," or "amá."

[imma_potato123]

No ,hindi and urdu are 2 different languages. Pitaji ,baap or pita is father in hindi! Goddam get a life

[...sobia...]

In urdu it is abbu abbais not that common. We used papa too although it is not a urdu word but common. And in hindi too papa word is more common than pitaji

[dipagssi]

Not in Hindi. In Hindi it is pita(ji/shri). Also, 아빠 is romanized as 'appa' which is the exact word for father in Tamil with a slightly different pronunciation.
