    “To all the trippin’ dad out there – Happy Fathers Day!”

    It is kind of late to send this message out, but to those dads I haven’t greeted yet, Happy Father’s Day!

    I love reading blogs about different languages. It’s interesting to note that several languages have almost the same spelling and term for “father.”

  • J guildford | August 6th, 2009 at 4:16 am

    wow, you would not think there where so many ways to say the same thing. Happy babas day indeed.

  • kuld33p | August 7th, 2009 at 7:58 pm

    Oh yes, there are so many languages out there and therefore so many ways to say dad but a father’s love is the same for all.

    “Meanwhile, here’s 45 ways to say dad in different language… enjoy!”

    It’s amazing how ‘father’ gets translated into so many languages. It boggles my mind how humans could evolve to think up these very different languages in the short time that we are here.

  • online backup | September 11th, 2009 at 5:55 pm

    Fathers day a good day to show respect love to father.

  • Web Development Company | September 23rd, 2009 at 2:32 pm

  • Payday Loans in Wisconsin | September 26th, 2009 at 10:52 pm

    Thanks for the list. I would keep it for next year. I could use it to greet my friends who are already fathers.

  • blood pressure manual | October 27th, 2009 at 7:17 pm

    Hi

    There is definitely a lot more to take in on the subject that I didn’t realize before. But I find myself pulled toward your direction of thinking. Thank you for the post! ;-)

  • Air Cleaner | January 27th, 2010 at 3:10 pm

    You get my heart. :) :oops: i love your post. I missed my papa(not national way to saying daddy. but in the Philippines. this is common), Im here in Singapore and I missed him so much.

    Kind of embarrassing to admit I did not know any of this before.. but good to know now :) Thanks!

    I don’t have much to say about the subject as I am impartial myself, but as far the format of your website, very nicely done :)

  • Diane | July 21st, 2010 at 6:19 pm

    No matter how we say it, the thought is what counts. It’s cool to learn different ways to say father. In Korea they call their father “aboji” for older children and “abppa” for youngsters.

  • Patrick Jones | August 4th, 2010 at 1:02 am

    Wow! really did not know that Dad has so many cute names there in any language. I love my dad and he is as cute as those names suggest.
