Relations
pa4 pa4 = his dad (YL)
ma1 ma1 = his mum (Sze)
ye2 ye2 = his paternal grandpa (evolved from 'pa4 pa4 ye2'!)
nai1 nai1 = his paternal grandma
ma4 ma4 = his maternal grandma
jie3 jie1 = he affectionately calls his cousin Glory "sister"
mei4 mei4 = he affectionately calls his little cousin Josie "sister"
p/s: Sze's dad is obviously gutted that his beloved grandson has yet to learn to call him "Gong Gong", though he probably knows that little Isaac loves him no less than others, judging from the way the little tod jumps on him whenever he sees him! : )
Objects:
Nan1 Nan2 = milk
Wou4 Wou4 = doggie
Mum Mum = food
Car = car
Car park =carpark
Expressions:
Mwah (!) = kiss
Bye = Bye
Obviously, you would note that he has not quite gotten the pronounciation right for some of the words (particularly relations), and his vocab for most of the objects are via association (e.g. sounds, etc). : )
