Answer :

Mam is a name especially used to refer to one's mother or someone elderly whom they treasure. I always feel weird when someone whose my agemate calls me "mam". It's as if they're comparing me to their mothers.Actually I remember i had a colleague who was really fond of calling me " mammy". At first, I took it lightly since were still in the process of getting to know each other and I never wanted to sound rude by stopping him. After some time I got fed up with the name and confronted him and told him how I felt about the name. This led to a long argument till we ended up ruining the friendship symbol because of that word "mam". Most of the African parents love calling there young ones " mam". According to them, it symbolises, love.In this kind of a scenario, its understandable and at least its your parents calling you and not your agemate.Also, in a certain region in my country, men are used to calling their girlfriends as "mam". For those ladies, they're used to that and very comfortable being called the name. I feel like that's still a symbol of love.

Last Answer : Well, I don't know if you're at the right address. It's true that my stomach is already pretty drawn, as you write, but I don't need to practice at all. It goes completely by itself. Beer, couch, lehsed, leh - all 5 times and that's it.

Last Answer : answer:First, I find it ludicrous that a student has a “right” to call a teacher what the student wants to call him/her. Second, you should always address someone the way they want to be addressed. That’s simple common courtesy.
