When you look it up in a Lebanese dictionary, you will get "Jid", but we always called my Lebanese grandfather "Jidi". It was pronounced zhiddee. Hope this helps. Jid is "a Grandfather"...Jidi is "my Grandfather" Jido is "his grandfather"

Arabic is spoken in Lebanon, however in a Lebanese dialect which is influenced by other factors such as different occupying countries such as Turkey and France have added some words, and the ancient languages which were spoken in the before Arabic became universal.

The Arabic word for father is Ab. In Lebanon, 'my father' would be translated as Abi (formal). The polite way to say 'my father' in the Lebanese dialect is 'Bay-yi' . Most Lebanese children refer to their dad as 'Baba'; however, 'Daddy' and 'Pappy' are common nicknames for dads as well.
