It seems that the others told you how to say daddy in most of the european languages, in my language daddy is ''tătic'' (I'm romanian by the way).

czech is interesting. it has seven or eight different ways of saying 'daddy' (perhaps even more). you use one word if you're saying 'daddy' (and about to give him a great hug) but a slightly different one if you mean 'daddy!' (i wish you wouldn't do that).
taticek and tatiko are both ways of saying 'daddy' in czech. you'd need to study the language to understand the difference between them.
...
welsh also has more than one word. 'tad' is the usual word for 'father' - and you can certainly call your father that. 'nhad' would be more normal though.
technically 'nhad' means 'my father' (welsh can show relationships by varying the initial consonant of a noun).
i wouldn't call my father either - since we speak english at home. my partner calls her father 'nhad' - they speak welsh.

I know that MOST Europeans languages will be something similar to Papa, or Patre!
Papa is English!

in Indonesian : Ayah. But this is very formal. I think there are more people calling "Bapak". (shorter form : Pak)
But there are several people who call Papa/Papi/Daddy too..
