Definition
Mama is an informal word for mother, used especially by young children or in affectionate contexts. It refers to a female parent and is one of the first words many babies learn to say. This term is common across many languages and cultures, often carrying a warm, nurturing tone. In English, it is less formal than 'mother' and is used primarily in family settings or when speaking to or about one's own mother. While 'mama' can also refer to a type of food in some contexts (like baby food), the most frequent and learner-friendly meaning is 'mother'.
