Just found out that I'm going to be a Babcia! When our daughters were born my sister & I were told by our mother that her mom was to be called Babcia, she didn't want that. When my daughter found out she was expecting she told me she wanted her kids to call me Babcia which thrilled me to death. What would be Polish for great-grandmother & how is it pronounced? Also need Aunt & Uncle pronounciation. I am 1/4 Polish & 3rd generation American. Thanks

I've just described it slightly differently to Davey's suggestions and put in bold the stressed syllables.

We already have a 'sticky' thread in: General Polish Language. You could drop a post in there, if ivona is not there already.
