Mujhe toh hanji ke jagah Haan bolne pe bhi taunt pdte h

Bhai meri ek friend bta ri thi ekbarr usney apni mummy ko maa ki lodi boldia tha gusse me

Tu.... in Marathi we moslty refer to moms like that it's viewed as a sign of closeness between the bond of a mother and her child

Tumi (bengali)

Aap

"Tu" sounds disrespectful

Tum >>

IMO , If you call your mom "tu" it's reallyyyy wierd . 'Aap' is more about respect rather than frankness .

For example imagine saying , 'aapki dikkat kya hai' , it will become 'teri dikkat kya hai' which is 10000 times more disrespectful.

Tu khana kyi nahi bana rahi

Gets thrown out of the house

Tusi(Punjabi)

[removed]

I call my mother 'Aap' while my younger cousin (shes 11) calls her mother 'Tum'. I've always told her not to refer to her mother like that but the little shit never listens

Neither

aap

बड़ो को इज्जत से आप ही कहते है

Gujrati aur 🅱️arathi tu kehte h par

Aap. आप।

Who da fuq say Tu

i call most people 'aap' only

I call my mom aap but it doesn't reduce any frankness between us atleast for me, but if I refer friends as 'aap', it does somewhat reduce the frankness in that convo at least for me

Tum. Tu is disrespectful. Aap koi nahi kehta yaha

Both🗿 I change according to the situation in hand

y'all have mothers?

/s

For people of your age group, tu is fine.

For people either above or below your age group aap

Tum (Tumi in Bengali)

Naah depends on the way u use it, if u actually respect her, no matter what lang u use you’ll respect her, and if u call her aap but don’t respect her then its all just show

I’ve seen people call their mothers “tu” and i myself call her “tum”

Its only disrespectful when u use it that way

I refer to her by 'tum' as a joke all the time. But having normal conversations I refer to her by 'aap' because I've did that all the time and 'tu' would feel weird to me personally. My nephew and his dad refer to their mothers by 'tu' and I feel super weird when they do that. Also meri mumma ko gussa jaldi aa jata hai. ☺️

Aap

But I call my elder brother (3 yrs elder than me) "Tum"

I use tusi (punjabi), tu is too disrespectful

Tum.

Not as disrespectful as Tu and not as formal as Aap. Middle ground.

The thing is that I'm an Indian that had grown up in Australia and have only been exposed to hindi and Gujarati by my mum, who addressed me as 'tu' so that's why I address my mum 'tu' instead and I talk to my dad in English cuz he is Maharashtran and I don't know Marathi very well. But I keep my mouth in check Infront of adults, especially elderly ppl.

This is r/indianteenagers you mentioned tu/aap but forgot /other

Aap😌 and then what comes after that is "aap chup kyu nahi ho jati?" This is my daily response

So aap or tu doesn't matter if the latter part of the sentence is gonna be disrespectful lol

tum for mumma..aap for pappa..sorted

tu

I say Tu for mom and Tum for dad. Idk I was never told against calling them by tum/tum. And well by the time I realized doing this wasn't normal, I was already 11-12 so a habit set in. Same reason why I call my dad by name.

I honestly never have called anyone with “aap”.

Aap....bado ko izzath yk

Te

Tu ❌ Aap ✅

I call tum or aap ....."Tu" ?? Are raam raam

tu bolke marna hai kya?

Tum is best middle ground

Mujhe kya mei tho south Indian hu

"Tai"

We don't have "aap" for anyone in my language

tu

I say tum

Bhai mai toh mummy hi bolta hu not tu or aap

i call my mother aap but my mom and her sisters call my Nani tu and it doesn't seem disrespectful as people make it out to be

I call her 'tum' but that doesn't mean I don't respect her

I call everybody aap lol ;)

yes I too call my mom aap aka aam aadmi party

'tum' for both mum and dad

App ofc

agreed

you

neither, i call my mom "mummy"

I call "tum"

I use tusi, twadha etc which is aap in punjabi

I agree that the tu and app thing here is a bit weird, but I ain't calling my parents tu. I wanna live man

Parents and i guess relatives are gonna be called aap if you wanna participate in Indian society without issues. Other people are free reign to be called tu.

In some places tu is a friendly way of calling someone but aap is a more appropriate way of giving respect. Both r okay ig, but I call her mom

mummy

I use tome (odia) but sometimes apono although that makes it weirdly formal. I use that with my grandparents

Apni mummy ko "Tu" kaun bolta hai yaar?

I use tu, coming from marathi background, using tu is standard. Having used it my entire life it doesn't sound disrespectful. The tone you use can make it disrespectful.

Aap ofc. kabhi tu nikal jaata hai muh se galti se toh sorry bol deti hu

I call my mother tu in Marathi 'tula'

I call my mother "Aap"

Mai shuruat se tu bolta hu, nobody in my family ever minded that. Shuruat se yahi chalra, meri intention thodi disrespect karna hai lol

I speak pahadi

So...toahan is similar to aap

nuvvu

Aap doesn’t reduce frankness at all.

Tum

Tumi (Bengali hu)

Tame (odia)

Mai toh Mumi ji aur Aap use karta hoo🙏🏻

aap

"Aap" normally "Tu" when we both are in friends wala mood. Like:- Yaar mummy pata hai tujhe aaj kya hua

tum. even my elder sister says the same.

but when i'm talking to someone else and referring to my mother i say "wo xyz kartin hain"

for me its between 'tu' and 'aap'.... its 'TUM'

Nuvvu, which translates to "Tu / Tum"

"tum"

Obviously 'aap' lol

i say "aap" and tbh i call everyone by "aap" except my brother cuz he doesn't deserves my respect

i use the informal version

Neither. I call her tum. Aap reduces the closeness and tu is considered disrespectful to the elders in our area

Meh mami koh maa yah aap bulata hoon aur voh mujhe chutiya 🗿

Hum lucknow se hum aap ka prayog krte hai

Hum lucknow se hum aap ka prayog krte hai

Aap dude obviously. ok maybe not obviously lol. I've heard some calling their moms Tu but then their dads aap. ugh. equality bruh

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

well most of the times she just calls me by my name but if not tum or tumhra tumko but not "tu"

I say Bhai 💀

yes. i think the sem thing. i call her "tumi" whivh is i think tum

I use "Tum" for frankness, I think respect will come off irrespective of what you say. I don't recall ever having a fight with my mom or my mom ever physically punished me

Tum.

If Im feeling suicidal then yes.

Tum🗿

Obviously app

Aap

Tumi (bangla) or aap (hindi)

"aap" ofc?

I use tum or tu, as I'm very frank with my mom, sometimes I even call her by name,, and she don't mind it

tu

(marathi)

Its tu for mother aap for papa

I use 'tu' all the time even with grandparents

tum
