喜樂美語
  1. 1n/mɑːm/ · /mɒm/媽 / 媽媽

    口語A child's name for their mother, used when talking to her or about her.

    mom 是小孩叫「媽媽」的日常用字，主要是美式英語（英式常寫 mum）。它比 mother 親切口語，是直接喊媽媽或跟別人提到自己媽媽時用的，例如 Mom, can I…？ 或 my mom says…。當面叫她時 Mom 開頭通常大寫，像名字一樣。

可以想成小孩在家裡對母親最自然、最親暱的叫法——是你會脫口喊出口的那聲「媽」，而不是表格上正式的 mother。
