Hello,

I f someone wanted to get the attention or talk to his/her grandmother, that person could say "Grandmother,.... " or "Grandma,.... ", but what if that person wanted to do so to his/her great-grandmother? Would that person say, "Great-grandma, .... "?

Thank you.

In our family, great grandmothers are addressed the same way that grandmothers are.
Grandma, Granny, Nannah, or Nanny, have all been used.
There are, probably, other variants in other families.
