Luke's Language

Luke Chinese words that we learned so we could understand what he was saying - some of these are real words in Chinese (probably not spelled correctly, though) and some of them are just his Chinese baby talk:

• Ma: Help

• Neow, Neow: go on the potty

• Dzo: Go somewhere

• Bao Bao: Hold Me

• May O: 'I want' or 'I don't want'

He understands, but doesn't speak these himself:

• Tsua: Sit

• Gio Li: Come Here

• Cher Fan: Eat

Since he has been in our family, he has learned in English:

• No, No I E (I E is how he says, Ivy. He uses this phrase when she takes away a toy, or 'accidentally' sits on him)

• Daddy

• Na Na - I think this means Mommy, but it sounds a lot like 'Neow Neow' - to go potty, so the virdict is still out on this one.
