Learners sometimes use "daddy" in formal or polite situations (e.g., in business emails or serious writing) where "father" is expected. "Daddy" is best kept for speech by young children, or for very close, playful family talk. Also, in some adult contexts, "daddy" has a sexual meaning, so learners should avoid calling other men "daddy" unless clearly talking about a parent–child relationship.
