Cute mistakes she makes
Zara speaks a lot, and she's picking up words from us daily. Being only 20months old, she makes some really cute mistakes.
Sauce is Horse to her.
As in Soya Horse and Chilli Horse. She would say, "Don't want Chilli Horse. Spicy."
Anything that has pines, or prickly she gets them mix up.
Porcupine is a Pineapple
Puffer fish is a Pine Cone
Pine Cone is a Porcupine
But a Pineapple is a Pineapple.
She pronunces the BL sound as BR. As in "the light brink brink".
And when something drops, she says "Opsy Dentally", fusing the phrase "Opsy Daisy" with "accidentally".
She calls a biscuit, bis-kot, as how Tuyam pronunces it. Recently I corrected her, and now when she said biskot, she would self correct and mutter, "biscuit, not biskot, biskot is Mayay (Malay)".

I think you will call her cute even if she hits you :P
kids will be kids!
Egghead,
Actually, I don't tolerate rudeness from her. No saying "Stupid", no pushing adults away, or no hitting adults.
I love her, but I don't spoil her. I practise some discipline at home.
Egghead,
Actually, it's not just adults, but b'cos she doesn't interact with kids so much.. I don't see her being rude to kids as yet.
Sambal Belacan,
She likes to flip through my visual encyclopedia and point to objects and ask me for the names. So we just tell her what they are since she's interested.
And we point out new items or objects to her and tell her their names and what they can do. She seems to like that and pick up lots of words from these situations.
"Biskot is Mayay"..heh heh..Her mispronounced words really cute.
Aiyo, this wawa really very very cute! :)
The mix-ups on pine...really very funny..puffer fish is pine cone, pine cone is porcupine, porcupine is pineapple BUT pineapple is pineapple...wah my head is spinning...LOL...;)
Very cute mistake.. and very clever too :P
Very rhyming lah her mix up :)
Immomsdaugther,
Yeah.. that's why i want to capture it.
Blublur,
Haha.. head spinning hor.. It makes me dizzy trying to capture this too. :P
Geetha,
Maybe that's why she got them all mix up.. Hee hee..
Irene,
She's still young.. Wait till she expend her vocab.. you'll see lots of this mix ups. :P
dun pray-pray, she'll be spikking pehfek engrish in no time! ;-)
Pronounciation not so good but she already knows a lot of words for her age.
My boy's mistake: Teacher = Picture. Mountain = Pountain. Swimming = Slimming.
It's normal and actually kind of fun to hear them speak like this in their cute little voice.
Come a few months, if she ever rides horsey on her newborn sibling... then u tell me whether that's cute or not, k. Freaks me out when Gordon tries that with his brother when my back's turned. Cheeky lil boy
May,
And pehfek Mayah too.. thanks to kakak. :P
Sesame,
Yeah.. all these pronunciation mistakes make them look so cute. But if it's spoken by an adult.. you'll think that they are Ah Beng or Ah Lian..
:P
Samm,
This is pronunciation mistakes.. makes it cute.
For mishap, or misbehave, or any mistakes related to physically harming herself or others, I won't find it cute, definitely.
My god, her vocabulary is really far more advanced for her age! She's gonna be a chatterbox someday :)
Simple American,
Haha.. but she's growing each day, and she's going to have less words said from her own dictionary. :P
I tried to correct her when she said opsy dentally, but she seems to be able to say dentally better than daisy. Funny girl.
YL,
I hope she won't point to mummy's stomach and said puffer fish.. :P
Shoppingmum,
She is already a chatterbox! Haha..
Zara is really funny and cute! I like "opsy dentally". Very accidentally wrong! Btw, that's a five-syllable word. So, Mama, keep talking to her. She'll be a lawyer some day, incidentally.
wow! i am surprised that she is picking up real quickly! i think you guys are doing a great job with zara!
Mother Superior,
It's strange she can say the 5-sllable word, but she can't say Opsy Daisy. :P
We talk a lot to her, but nowadays, she seems to be overtaking us. Haha
Mom2Ashley,
Keep talking, and keep pointing out things to her and name them, that's what we do for her. Their minds are asborbing like a sponge, every moment is a learning moment. Amazing!
I like the way she self-corrects. So adorable. Kids do learn fast, don't they?
Well, looks like she would be chatting herself away soon.
no dialect for Zara?
Earthember,
Yes, they do learn fast. It's just so amazing.
See Fei,
Err.. no. Actually, I'm trying to speak to her in Mandarin.
best regards, nice info »
