Is “mu hao” and “fu hao” the most formal way of adressing mother and father? i was watching a movie and they kept saying that. what are the characters?

I think it could be Cantonese pronunciation. In Chinese, we say “fu4 qin1父亲”(father) and “mu3 qin1母亲”(mother). | |

Nowadays, the formal way to address mother and father is “mu3 qin1” and “fu4 qin”
“mu hao” and “fu hao” don’t make any sense in Mandarin. I would presume you watched a movie about ancient China.
