What do maori children call their grandmothers?

Maori children have different terms for their grandmothers depending on the specific family lineage and the relationship between the grandmother and the grandchild.

Here are a few common terms:

* Kuia: This is a general term for an elder woman, and it can be used for a grandmother. However, it's more common to use a more specific term.

* Nana: This is a common and affectionate term for grandmother. It's similar to the English "Nana."

* Nanai: This term is similar to "Nana" but can be more formal.

* Koroua: This term refers to a grandfather, but it can also be used for a grandmother in some families.

It's important to remember that these are just a few examples, and the specific term used can vary depending on the family and region.

To be respectful, it's always best to ask a Maori person how they prefer to be addressed.
