My son’s first dual words in Malay!
Apa-lah
Couldn’t understand why these words coming out from his mouth.
We have been teaching him to call us “papa” “mama” “popo” “gonggong” “yipo” “jiujiu” and lots more.
He had only choose to say “mama” and “Ma”. What happen to the rest?
We had constantly talk in Chinese, Cantonese and English. He somehow choose the least popular language in our house - Malay.
Oh well, luckily he didn’t learn vulgar words instead. I couldn’t imagine if he say “Fxxx you” for his first words. Anyway, this wouldn’t happen as we hmm…. don’t use that!
I suspect he second Malay word will be “Alamak”. We use to say this word when we accidentally did something wrong even when he falls. He would laugh until he forgotten his pain.
He has once say “ai ni”- 爱你 to my mum when she say it. That didn’t become his favorite.
I’d guess i should teach him Malay instead??

hihi…. 啊 嘟 嘟.
I simply couldn’t put comment in you latest blog. is there i way i could participate?
As for the Malay languages. To be surprise, we don’t have any maid. We might have plenty of Malay families as neighbor; we don’t gathered often. My dad use “Apa-lah” for a few times before he learned and use it right!
That’s weird.
