Say Old Woman in Spanish?

Question

My mother in law has always called me little one in Spanish. I keep telling her I'm going to find out what old woman means in Spanish so I can call her that :) I found (at dictionary.com) Senora Mayor but she says that they are saying it "nice". So...I'm looking for some slang Mexican for old woman...can you help? PS - I know a lot of cuss words so don't have me calling her a *itch or something haha!

Answer 1

"Vieja" in Mexican slang means "woman" in general. They say "mi vieja" meaning "my woman"; of course, the real meaning of vieja is "old woman". Viejita or viejecita is a nicer way to refer to old women. Anciana is another term for old woman. In Central America they may call an old woman: "vejestorio" and that's not a term of endearment.

Vejestorio=Old bag

Answer 2

Hm...You want to call her "mi viejita/viejesita" or just, "viejita/viejesita". They both have endearment connotations, so I doubt they will sound rude to her. It depends.

Cheers.

Answer 3

Veijita is the term your looking for (it's an enderaring term.) It usually goes with my... "mi viejita".  It's like saying my oldie, and it's very sweet.

Answer 4

Doña (do- like in donuts, ña - sounds like "gna") is the most respectable word to use for an old lady.

Answer 5

vieja means old and mujer means woman
