In Telugu, to express love and affection, my అమ్మ amma (mother) often Amma’s me back and my నాన్న nānna (father) nānna’s me back :)
In a nutshell, they use their own designated absolute honorifics in addressing their descendants.
This beautiful linguistic phenomenon that exists in Telugu, doesn’t have a specific name but it is popularly known as self-reciprocal kinship or affectionate kin terms.
Hi. I study linguistics at Uni. I just wanted to say, I'm from southern Italy and I want to point out that theres not such thing as 'reverse addressing' in, nor is ''Mom, open the door'' considered correct or used in our everyday language , i dont know where they came up with that from.
Hey! Oh, really? Well, @werejuggler did say central and southern Italy, so maybe it’s just central? I don’t speak Italian, so I wouldn’t know - I hope you don't mind my publishing this ask - but calling for any Italian speakers, anyone want to chip in and clear this one up? (in reference to this post.)
