Dizadzia, Dziadek or Dziadziu

There is a polish word for grandfather.

dziadzia

Dziadzia is pronounced "JAH-jah" and today I am going to teach my grandson Christopher who is 15 months old and not yet talking,  to call me dziadzia.  

Definition: The Americanized Polish word for "grandpa," used affectionately. Dziadek or dziadziu is the true Polish word for "grandfather" and "grampa," respectively.
Pronunciation: JAH-jah
Examples:
When I was little, dziadzia made Dill Pickle Soup for me.
