Using 我爱妈妈
妈妈 is “mom” — a doubled syllable like “mama”, which is why it is among the first words babies say. 我爱妈妈 puts it into a full sentence kids write in Mother's Day cards and birthday notes, often with a heart drawn next to it.
In Traditional Chinese it is 我愛媽媽: 爱→愛 and 妈→媽. A longer card line for confident writers: 妈妈，我爱你，谢谢你 (“Mom, I love you, thank you”). The same pattern swaps to 我爱爸爸 for Father's Day — one template, two holidays.

FAQ
Is 妈妈 formal or informal?
Everyday and warm — it is what children actually call their mother. The formal, written word is 母亲, seen in 母亲节 (Mother's Day). Cards often mix both: 妈妈，母亲节快乐！
Why is 妈妈 written twice?
Chinese builds cozy kinship words by doubling: 妈妈 (mom), 爸爸 (dad), 哥哥 (older brother). The second syllable is spoken with a light neutral tone: “mā ma”.
How is 我爱妈妈 written in Traditional Chinese?
我愛媽媽 — 爱→愛 and 妈→媽. 我 is the same in both scripts.
