Mother in Japanese 🇯🇵

ははおや info.

Tips to remember the Japanese word:
– Break down ははおや (母親) into smaller parts: "はは" (haha) means "mother" and "おや" (oya) means "parent."
– Associate "haha" with the sound of laughter a mother brings into life, and "oya" with the authority or guidance of a parent.

Explanations:
– ははおや (hahaoya) specifically refers to a mother in a slightly more formal sense, often used in written language or respectful conversation.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– お母さん (おかあさん, okaasan): Informal and respectful term for "mother."
– 母 (はは, haha): Simple and less formal term, often used when referring to one's own mother in conversation with others.

Alternate meanings like slang:
– There's no significant slang for ははおや (hahaoya), but おふくろ (ofukuro) is a more casual and colloquial term often used by men to refer to their own mothers affectionately.

Examples of sentences that use it:
1. 母親はいつも私を応援してくれます。
– Hahaoya wa itsumo watashi o ouen e kuremasu.
– My mother always supports me.

2. 彼女は素晴らしい母親です。
– Kanojo wa subarashii hahaoya desu.

3. 母親の日には花を贈ります。
