EN: Mother (honorific); term for an older woman
Think of it as the provincial Tita that's not really your aunt but you call her Tita anyway. 'Nanang' is that, but for moms or lolas. It's got that warm, probinsya vibe, often used in places like Ilocos. It’s respect and familiarity rolled into one.
Mula sa wikang Ilokano na 'nanang' na nangangahulugang 'ina'.
Primarily used in Northern Luzon. While understood in other regions, 'Nanay' or 'Inay' are more common nationally.
