Vanliga frågor
What's the difference between 'abuelo' and 'abuelito'?
'Abuelito' is a more affectionate and tender version of 'abuelo'. It's like saying 'grandpa' or 'grandpappy' instead of 'grandfather'. Children use it a lot, but adults also use it to show love and closeness.
How do I say 'great-grandfather'?
You add the prefix 'bis-', so it becomes 'bisabuelo'. For great-great-grandfather, you add 'tatara-', making it 'tatarabuelo'.
