In tagalog, we call Father as "tatay" and "Nanay" for mother. Sometimes filipino people use "Itay"-father and "Inay"-mother. but i don't use those tagalog terms to call my parents. I use "papa" and "mama" when calling them...

In Romanian languace are so many " names" for mother and father...but in normal way is MAMA and Tata...in a sweet way is mami and tati. So...mama and tata, romanian languace is a latin languace.
