Quoting bod: Quoting mltm: yes, good point! though I don^'t think people call their fathers like "babacık" |
According to:
http://www.turkishlanguage.co.uk/nouns.htm
"You can often hear children crying - babacığım - (my) daddy or anneciğim - (my) mummy."
I only learnt this suffix today which is why it is fresh in my mind. Although it was "köpeçik" (puppy) that I especially remembered! |
ahh yes, it's true. but always like "babacığım" or "anneciğim" not "babacık" or "annecik". Sorry...

"Babişko".
Some people, especially little girls, sometimes addresses babişko to their fathers. it is used in the sense of "Babacığım.". But I don't recommend this since it doesn't look a real word. It may be fictitius word.

For some reason, "babacık" includes "pity" while "babacığım" includes "fondness"...dont ask me why.
