Best Answer

You may say "ojiisan," "jiichan," or "sofu."

The Japanese word for grandfather is ojiisan. Phonetically, you'd pronounce it "oh-jee-sahn".

Ojiisan is the polite way to say "grandfather". You'd use it when referring to someone else's grandfather. The humble way of referring to your own grandfather in Japanese is sofu.

Grandma is obaasan (おばあさん), not to be mistaken with obasan which is aunt or a way of addressing older women.
