What does sitti means?

"Sitti" is a common Arabic word that can have several meanings depending on the context:

1. Grandmother: This is the most common meaning of "sitti" and refers to a person's maternal grandmother.

2. Grandmotherly: It can also be used as an adjective meaning "grandmotherly," like "She has a sitti-like kindness."

3. "My lady" or "Madam" (honorific): In some contexts, "sitti" can be used as a respectful term similar to "madam" or "my lady," although it's less common than other honorifics.

4. Other meanings: There are other, less common meanings of "sitti," such as "little lady" or "young lady," but these are rarely used.

To understand the intended meaning of "sitti," you need to consider the context in which it is used.

For example, if you hear someone say "My sitti is coming to visit," it's clear that "sitti" means grandmother. However, if you hear someone say "Good morning, sitti," it's more likely that "sitti" is being used as an honorific.
