맘마 mamma

food, meal

What does 맘마 mean?

맘마 (mamma) means: food, meal.

Used by parents to infants or toddlers instead of the standard '밥' (bap). It is highly repetitive and easy to pronounce. While cute, using this with adult friends will make you sound like you are acting excessively childish (aegyo) or joking.

How it's actually used

  • 우리 아기, 이제 맘마 먹을까?
    Shall our baby have some food now?
