I had the same thought, lol. I wonder how you would say "I am your father, Luke." Would Luke come first?
Either 'लूक, मैं तुम्हारा पिता हूँ' or मैं तुम्हारा पिता हूँ, लूक' is fine.
I was literally about to post this, and I was thinking of how funny and original it would have been XD
In Australia, people call their grandmother 'nanna'. This is going to trip me up!
Why tumhara and not tumhare? When all other references to dada use the honorific plural version?
This sentence is referring to oneself. So, an honorific is unnecessary (you can't be rude to yourself).
In some dialects, people refer to themselves using the 'royal we' (they use हम even while talking about just themselves). In that case, the sentence would be 'हम आपके नाना हैं' or 'हम तुम्हारे नाना हैं'
Ahh, that makes sense. Thank you for clearing that up. Also, congratulations on the Level 25 in French. :)
So i'm thinking technically!! Shouldn't it be "Maternal" Grandfather..,cuz then it's basically the same thing how do you differentiate while talking! (I'm a native yess! And this discussion is with myself
