tell me the kiddy languages! - 08-16-2010, 02:55 PM

Hi there, I have another question!

I don't know if you called them the kiddy languages or kiddy words or baby languages... but hope you know what I'm trying to say.

here is some Japanes ones
幼児語(ようじご):
ありがとう≒ あんがと/あんと
くるま≒ブーブー
いぬ≒わんわん/わんちゃん
ねこ=にゃんにゃん
(お)そと≒おんも
きたない≒ばっちい
かたづける≒ないない(する)
はなをかむ≒チ~ンする


I heard British/Australian "ta" is a kiddy way of saying Thank you(that's what my dictionary told me), but the adult use them very often right? I used to love saying "ta" and "no worries" but I don't hear them anymore... here in Japan.

and other words I heard:
Kindergarten= kindy
Bird=birdy
Chocolate=chocky
Biscuit=bikkie

Can you tell me more of the kiddy languages please?



and please tell me your way of "Eeny meeny miney moe"?

you keep going like...
....Catch a tiger by the toe,
If he hollers, let him go,
Eeny meeny miney moe!

Oh and one more question,
Which is right ?
"you are it! " or "you are the it!"?

Do we need "the" for IT?

Here is a Japanese one, I'm sure there are various ways.
but this is one of them from Yokohama.
どれにしようかなてんのかみさまのいうとおりなのなの な
てっぽううってばんばんばんどちらのたまごがわれたか な
hope you enjoy it!
