What to call Grandma in Swedish
In Swedish, grandma is usually Farmor (father's mother) or Mormor (mother's mother) (said FAR-moor / MOOR-moor) and grandpa is Farfar or Morfar (said FAR-far / MOOR-far). Literally "father's mother" and "mother's mother". Spellings and pronunciations vary by region and by family, so ask which version yours uses.
Is Farmor the only word?
Families make these words their own. Many use a nickname a toddler first said, and that's the name that sticks. Ask your family which they use.
