These past few weeks we've been hearing a lot of new words every day. Sometimes we wonder if they're in Spanish, or we're just misunderstanding. But it's been a lot of fun to be able to communicate so much more.
We've been hearing a lot of menu requests, especially for: pizza, hummus, sushi, and 'bucha (= kombucha). He knows the word eat, but goes about asking in a different way. First, he indicates the food he wants. "Pizza." And we say something like, "yes, that box does have a picture of a pizza on it" (in the freezer case of the grocery store, say). If he isn't given any pizza to eat at that point, he'll add, "mouf" and point to his mouth. It's so funny and cute.
There have also been a lot of attempts at words for exciting vehicles and technology devices: airpane, fire truck (= any emergency services vehicle with sirens and flashing lights), bus, ipod, 'mote (= remote) ... and yesterday a really ambitious one: ewe-wator (= elevator). We were astounded.
