Yiddish from Eastern European or and Russian typically use "BOB-eh" (grandmother)

and "ZAY-deh" (grandfather). (Compare to Polish and Slovak.)

To my grandkids, I am Zaydie, but my wife is Grandma.

In modern times, the Hebrew "SA-bah" and "SAV-tah" are becoming more common,

even among Yiddish speakers.

To my same grandkids, their other grandparents are Saba and Savta.
