含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)
中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 母亲，称呼自己的生母或年长女性
英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): mother, mom; term of address for one's own mother or as a polite address to an older woman
“妈”常用于口语中，表示母亲，也可表示亲昵地称呼年长女性。常与“妈妈”一起用，表达亲切、爱意。
'妈' is mainly used in spoken Chinese, directly meaning 'mother' or 'mom.' It can also be used affectionately for other older women. The doubled form '妈妈' is very common and expresses intimacy and affection.
象形意义 / 为何这么写 (Pictographic Meaning / Writing Rationale)
“妈”是形声字，左边“女”表示与女性相关，右边“马”表示发音，整个字和女性、母亲有密切关联。‘马’作为声旁，并无语义联系。'妈' is a phono-semantic compound: '女' (female) shows the meaning, and '马' (horse) serves as the phonetic component. The character relates closely to women and mothers. The '马' component indicates pronunciation and does not contribute meaning.
文言文释义 (Classical Chinese Meaning)
与现代意义相近，主要指母亲或长辈女性的称呼。Similar to modern meaning; mainly used as a term for mother or older woman.
