The Chinese word for grandfather is 爷爷 (yéye). It is composed of two characters: 爷 (yé), which means "father", and 爷 (yé), which is a reduplication of the first character. The reduplication of the character 爷 emphasizes the meaning of "father" and conveys a sense of respect and affection. The word 爷爷 is used to refer to one's paternal grandfather, while the word 奶奶 (nǎinai) is used to refer to one's maternal grandmother. These terms are commonly used in Chinese families to address and refer to grandparents.
