amma

As mentioned the idea seems to be from Amma Kitchen run by Jayalalitha, who passed away earlier this year.

In Tamil (and South Indian states), it’s common to call elders appa (dad) and amma (mom).

Talli is to mother as Amma is to the mama word from the article.

This reminds me of the government run Amma Canteens in parts of India.

In spoken Telugu today, 'amma' is far more common than 'talli'.

That's intriguing, because 'amma' is the Tamil word for mother.

Yes, the letter 'y' is called '(G/Y)amma' im greek.

I have seen how many Amma canteens in Chennai have run into neglect or effectively closed down a mere 3 years after opening.

> In spoken Telugu today, 'amma' is far more common than 'talli'.

So then I started to just say to my manager, hey, Mgr, amma gonna flex this whole Monday.

I actually got confused today because someone posted a picture of the religious leader nicknamed Amma and and I was like wait who, doesn't she have breakfast cereal named after her?

What if I own the server and I really don't care what people think nor do I think smart contracts are especially smart and I decide, amma gonna deploy it, so I xcopy it onto the server.

Some examples from India Telugu/Kannada: mother is "amma" Hindi: "maa"

"Acchan" stands for dad and "Amma" is mom so the combination of those two is dad's mother.

For example, Malayalam has "mataav^" and "pitav^" But the commoner words for parents in Malayalam is "amma" and "appa/acha".

>“The government is telling Muslims to leave India and go away.” In reply, the other child says, “Amma, Modi is saying show documents of your father and grandfather otherwise he is telling us to leave the country.” At this point, another child is heard saying, “Hit them with slippers if anybody asks for documents.” The last one is directed at survey workers who have been (mis)targeted recently.

In my language Malayalam, mother is 'Amma'.
