Why do kids call their parents ‘Mama’

Image
why do almost all kids use the same name for their parents? why is it we refer to our parents in this way? Where did it come from and perhaps, more curiously, is there any culture that forgoes this seemingly universal nickname custom for parental figures? All around the world, the words for “mom" are almost the same. Other words aren’t nearly as similar. Take “dog,” for example. In French, “dog” is “chien”; in Dutch, it is “hond”; and in Hungarian, it is “kutya.” But if you needed to get your mother’s attention in France, the Netherlands or Hungary, you’d call “Maman,” “Mama” or “Mamma.” What names do children have for parents in different languages? The names for mothers and fathers are remarkably similar around the world. Chinese - Mama. Zulu - Umama. Arabic - um. Swedish - Mamma. Hungarian - Mamma. Swahili - Mama. Hindi - Mam. Afrikaans - Ma. Ancient Egyptian - Mut. Welsh - Mam. Quechua - Mama. Maori - Mama. As you can clearly see from this list, there’s a very pecu...

Danish children struggle to learn their vowel-filled language – and this changes how adult Danes interact

Image
Denmark is a rich country with an extensive welfare system and strong education. Yet surprisingly, Danish children have trouble learning their mother tongue. Compared to Norwegian children, who are learning a very similar language, Danish kids on average know 30% fewer words at 15 months and take nearly two years longer to learn the past tense. In “Hamlet,” William Shakespeare famously wrote that “something is rotten in the state of Denmark,” but he might as well have been talking about the Danish language. Why is Danish so hard? There are three main reasons why Danish is so complicated. First, with about 40 different vowel sounds – compared to between 13 and 15 vowels in English depending on dialect – Danish has one of the largest vowel inventories in the world. On top of that, Danes often turn consonants into vowel-like sounds when they speak. And finally, Danes also like to “swallow” the ends of words and omit, on average, about a quarter of all syllables. They do this not only ...
