How to talk like a 1,5-year-old

In case you wonder what kind of things Finnish toddlers can say, here's a list of my daughter's favourite words at the age of 18 months. Test yourself and see if you can understand what my little lady has to say!

  1. Alas! 
  2. Anna! 
  3. Avaa! 
  4. Istu! 
  5. Joo
  6. Ka! (A short form of kato which is a spoken language form of katso.)
  7. Kakka
  8. Kakku
  9. Kiitos! 
  10. Kenkä 
  11. Loppu
  12. Moi moi!
  13. Nam!
  14. Nenä
  15. Noin! 
  16. Papu 
  17. Pois! 
  18. Rikki (or ikki. It takes a while to learn the Finnish r.)
  19. Tuu!
  20. Vauva
