Meh, Adam is obnoxious but correct

[-] Ledivin@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

Correct but obviously exaggerating. I'd love to hear his not-quite-2-year-old daughter "using" 4-syllable words 🙄

[-] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago

I’m not a wordologist. Do words become harder to say when they’re longer? I mean, alalalalalong has 6 syllables.

[-] Lemmynated@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Longer words are harder for children to get right.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

But it's so easy!

...damn, I messed up somewhere.

Bob Marley is that you?

This kid tries to repeat apple and banana

most people seem to be unable to pronounce anything longer than the word "pronounce".

repeat after me kids! Supercallifragilisticexpiallidocious!

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I mean, California, and other states, are 4 syllable words.

[-] peto@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago

Can push California to 5 syllables if you really want to.

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Are you attacking my cultural heritage of slurring words like a drunk ferret?

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yep. Maybe the sister’s named Elizabeth (and they obviously didn’t accept any nicknames)

[-] LurkyLoo@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Obnoxious, but also NOT correct. As another poster pointed out baby talk does serve a purpose in language development, and is a pretty universal part of child rearing. It's not some recent cultural phenomenon that's holding people bad from their full potential (or whatever BS this person is trying to imply). Using big words or skipping the baby talk stage doesn't lead to more rapid or better development.

[-] JamesStallion@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

A better vocabulary is learned somewhere. Adopting an upbeat tone was always sufficient for me to hold toddlers attention.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

The image conflates baby talk and vocabulary. Baby talk is the tone, not the words. So you did it correctly, good vocabulary with an upbeat tone.

[-] JamesStallion@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

very good, sounds legit. This may seem a on sequiter, but are you no longer farting in a maggoty way?

[-] fosho@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

that was just, like, their opinion, man
