 * They are Synonyms. 엄마 is a colloquial expression and 어머니 is an honorific expression. B2V22BHARAT (talk) 03:37, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I think User:Eirikr is asking about the etymology 어머니 = 엄마 + 니 (with a phonetic change)?, not the meaning. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:54, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, your hypothesis might be right. You can use naver.com and google.com to search for etymology. Also 나무위키 has a lot of rare information about Korean words, too. Hope this helps. Sincerely, B2V22BHARAT (talk) 04:02, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Anatoli and B2V22BHARAT. Indeed, I'm more interested in the derivations / etymologies.  I cannot tell if  is from 엄마 + 니, or if  is from 어머니 - 니: is this an additive compound, or an elided abbreviation?  Cheers, ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 04:32, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
