grandpa and grandma Explanation: Vaari and muori refers to old folk but are somewhat colloquial. I suggest you use grandpa and grandma so you can maintain the tone of original text. vaari=grandpa or granpa muori=grandma -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-11-24 08:52:48 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Instead of grandma you can also say granny. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-11-24 08:59:15 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To clarify my answer, even though they are not related to summer guests it was and is common to call old folks, e.g., as vaari and muori. |
