How do you spell mother in Japanese?

There are two ways to spell "mother" in Japanese, depending on the context:

* お母さん (okaasan) - This is the most common and polite way to say "mother." It is used for addressing your own mother or the mother of someone you know well.

* 母 (haha) - This is a more formal and literary way to say "mother." It is used in written texts or when talking about mothers in general.

You can also use the word ママ (mama), which is a borrowed word from English. However, this is considered more informal and is usually only used by children or close family members.
