Grandfather
Dziadek is Polish for Grandfather. Children use Dziadzia for Grampa. Pronounced JAH-jah.
My Grandfather was born in Estonia. He immigrated to America and eventually married a woman whose parents were from Poland. So my Dad, Lex’s Grampa, used to call his own Grandpa “Jaja”. And when he finally became a Grandfather, 80 years old, it is his turn to be “Jaja.”
