Valeria seems to have a very different speech development pattern than Alexandra.
Alexandra still uses the word Colidas to refer to anything that writes. Valeria this past week held up a pencil and said, “Lápis”.
Valeria also uses verbs a lot more frequently. Of course, very much vowel dominant.
She says “ah-eeh” for “sair”. She uses the verb “ah-bee” (abre - open) as a wild card. She repeats verbs we say, positive or negative forms, to get her mind across. Example:
Bega (pega) when she needs me to get something for her.
When she doesn’t know the correct word for what she wants she basically plays a guessing game game that goes like this:
We say the word we think she wants and she says “no no no”
We say the right word, she repeats it with a beam on her face.
It happened this morning. There several toys in the pack’n’play she was trying to climb. I kept showing each toy to her and saying its name. “Você quer os anéis?” (Do you want the ring tower?). Valeria “no no no no no”
Until I gave up offering toys, as there were none left. “Você quer entrar?”
“Entá! Qué entá!”
Other verbs she uses is “botar” (put on / put in), sobe (go up)
Other nouns: eite (leite), fanche (elefante), patchu (pato), coio (colo), boia (bola, she used to say bó)
