Calling your child "son" is completely normal, but calling your child "daughter" is pretty unusual. amirite?

As a father with a daughter, no it's not

I think they mean in the sense "come have a seat, daughter."

As a father of 3 girls I'll say it's not unusual at all and more so they could tell whom I was referring to simply by how I said it~

Depends on the language. In Portuguese is completely fine

Rly? Just saying "Töchter, komm hier" works? Didn't know that

by Anonymous 3 years ago

In my family it is. My parents often call me Tochter or Töchterchen instead of my name.

by Anonymous 3 years ago

Cool! Nice to know that. 4 years learning the language and I had no idea

by Anonymous 3 years ago

It's probably not something you'd learn from books. They usually say for example „meine Tochter, komm mal her" but they also say „mein Sohn, komm mal her" to my brother as the male equivalent. It might differ throughout regions though, I'm from southern Germany.

Is it less syllables in that language? I think that's probably why.

Filha is shorter than daughter, but I don't think 3 letters is the reason for that

by Anonymous 3 years ago

Wouldn't that be one less syllable? (I have no idea how that would be pronounced, sorry)

by Anonymous 3 years ago

It is! But idk, just feels weird that only 3 letters would make people not use the word at all But hey, I'm no linguistic

The Norse beg to differ.

Just had this conversation with my daughter yesterday.

by Anonymous 3 years ago

This was worded incorrectly, leading to confusion.

by Anonymous 3 years ago

Should we be saying girl-son? Lady-child?

by Anonymous 3 years ago

Two syllables vs. one

by Anonymous 3 years ago

I call my daughter 'Daughter' all the time. It's not all unusual for me to walk into a room and say "Hello daughter. How was your day?" Or "Hello daughter of mine."

by Anonymous 3 years ago

To avoid this kind of situation, my parents just call me "disappointment"

by Anonymous 3 years ago

Son is so easy to say daughter is a mouthful
