Both.

In Chinese, 奶 (nǎi) is used to refer to a person's mother or a grandmother from the father's side. It is a title of respect for an elder lady, but it is not used alone. It is usually used in combination with other words, such as 奶奶 (nǎi nai) which means "grandma from one's father's side".

In addition, 奶 (nǎi) also means "milk".
