Dadi in Gujarati means grandmother, Father''s mother And daddy is father pronounced the same. When my granddaughter was four she refused to call me Dadi, Insisting her daddy was my son. Tears swelled in her eyes, So I pacified her, I told her I was her daddy's mother so she could call me Dadima. So I am Dadima to my son's children, And Nanima to my daughter's children. 21/1/2021
