How to Say "Mom" in Bengali - How To Say Guide

মা

ma/ma/

The English word "mom" is translated into Bengali as মা (ma).

মা is used as a standard, informal way to refer to or address a mother.

Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?

মা is considered the standard informal term for a mother. For an even more affectionate and informal way to say "mommy", you can use Ammu.

The word is pronounced as /ma/.

The word মা is a direct relative of the English word 'mother', as both descend from the same ancient Proto-Indo-European root that used a similar 'm' sound to mimic a baby's first vocalizations.
In Bengali, মা is often used as a term of endearment for any young girl or woman, regardless of whether she is the speaker's child.
While মা is universal, the variation Ammu is particularly common among Bengali speakers in Bangladesh, whereas মা is the dominant term in West Bengal, India.
