What is 'Grandma' when translated from English to Italian?

Answer 1

Nona is a literal Italian equivalent of the English word "Grandma." The feminine singular noun serves as a diminutive for the standard term Nonna ("Grandmother"). The pronunciation will be "NO-na" in Italian.

Answer 2

Nona and Nonna are Italian equivalents of the English word "Grandma." The choice of which feminine singular noun to use depends upon the speaker's birthplace and personal preference even though some translators tend to link nonawith "grandma" and nonna only with "grandmother." The respective pronunciations will be "NO-na" and "NON-na" in Italian.
