John,
My sister-in-law called her grandfather Dzedo and my brother, her husband, goes by Dzedo to his grandchildren. She goes by Bubba.
I don’t think it’s any different for other nationalities. My best friend’s grandchildren call her Mammy and her husband, Papa. We don’t know the Slovak language, and that’s why we’re having problems with grandmother and grandfather’s words and spellings.
It’s very interesting to learn about the different spellings, etc., of the Slovak language. Zlatica, aka Goldie, has been a wonderful source of information about that. She’s a gem for sure, and you’re lucky to be in touch with her.
