I plant this interesting, in many languages effectually the earth, we all take a similar fashion to telephone call a mother! In Chinese, we say "妈妈/媽媽 māma."

In the near of the textbooks, they usually but innovate mother every bit "妈妈/媽媽 māma." But the funny thing is, you rarely hear anyone really call their mom "māma." Yous may hear some say "妈/媽 mā," while some saying as second tone, like "má~~~." Petty kids may call their mom "mǎmá" (3rd and second tone.) Simply no thing what that may be, they all still have the aforementioned pinyin "ma."

This is a formal way to call a mother. We rarely call our mom as "母亲/母親 mǔqīn" nowadays. But y'all can still find the term in the written form and other formal settings.

When nosotros say happy Female parent's Solar day, we use "母亲/母親 mǔqīn." We don't say 妈妈节快乐/媽媽節快樂 Māmā jié kuàilè . When wishing someone happy Mother'due south Day, we say 母亲节快乐/母親節快樂 mǔqīn jié kuàilè.

孩子 háizi, 小孩 xiǎohái, kid, children

This phrase is oft used in formal settings, like in books, documents etc…

When you lot like to introduce how many kids you have, nosotros usually use the phrase "小孩 xiǎohái" which literally means piffling child, little kid.

I accept 3 kids.

我有三个小孩。

Wǒ yǒusān gè xiǎohái.

If you lot want to exist specific, here are the words for sons and daughters:

儿子/兒子 érzi, son

女儿/女兒 nǚ ér, girl

So, you lot can say

I have three kids. I son and two daughters.

我有三个小孩。一个儿子，两个女儿。

Wǒ yǒusān gè xiǎohái. Yīgè er zi, liǎng gè nǚ'ér.

Or you can also use these 2 words to describe gender

Wǒ yǒusān gè xiǎohái. Yīgè nánshēng, liǎng gè nǚshēng.

礼物/禮物 lǐwù, present, souvenir

I personally don't really care if I receive gifts on this twenty-four hours (or whatever mean solar day, lol). Since many people may do so to limited their love for the moms, it'south proficient to larn this vocabulary.

The phrase for giving a gift is 送礼物 sòng lǐwù.

• 花 huā, flower
• 巧克力 qiǎokèlì, chocolate

Flowers and chocolates are probably the almost common gifts! Try to pronounce chocolate in Chinese! "巧克力 qiǎokèlì," did you lot notice them similar? Chocolate did non origin from Chinese civilization, that'south why we took the sound and named it as such.

Below are the sentences nosotros can say to our mother (at least on this twenty-four hours) at whatsoever fourth dimension of the year.

我爱您！/ 我愛您！wǒ ài nín! I love yous!

In many of our culture posts, we talk about this word "您 nín, yous" which is a polite and honorable style to say "你 or 妳 nǐ, you." Your parents are definitely one of the people you respect. Therefore, we say 我爱您.  However, there is nil incorrect to only say 妈妈，我爱你 present.

辛苦了！xīnkǔle! Thanks for the hard piece of work!

I can't really find an equivalent phrase for this. The phrase 辛苦 is used to depict someone who has given their hard piece of work, it could be labor work, time consuming work etc… For instance, a director could tell an employee after he finishes a challenging project, "辛苦了！xīnkǔle! "

A mother is usually the 1 spending her time for her family, raising children, making meals, taking care of house work, and for some mothers, fifty-fifty working at the aforementioned time. No thing what kind, they normally work difficult to keep their family unit rubber, happy, and satisfied. So, not only on this day, only whenever you lot get the chance, tell your mom: 辛苦了！xīnkǔle!

Don't be shy to express your gratitude!

We often say:

Mom, thank you! Thank you for your hard piece of work!

妈妈，谢谢您！辛苦了！

Māmā, xièxiè nín! Xīnkǔle!

As I grew up in Taiwan and moved to the The states a while ago, I definitely can tell how different cultures grade people to express their love. Near Chinese or in Asian culture, nosotros are too shy to express our love verbally and even with obvious actions, like hugs and kisses. I am learning to express my dear toward my family since you never know if you will have another chance.

• 抱 bào, hug
• 亲 / 親 qīn, buss

美丽 / 美麗 měilì, beautiful

There are two words that we often use to describe a female, 漂亮 pretty and 美麗 beautiful. While 漂亮 pretty focus on the outward appearance, 美麗 cute can be used for someone who is good looking, or/and cute on the inside.

Not all moms are practiced looking, but nigh of them have a very beautiful inner personality. They are willing to cede their fourth dimension, sleep, coin, even themselves, to take care of their family.
