Baby Talk to Represent Animals

In a conversation with babies in Japan, we can represent animals by their barks or cries.

Yesterday, I told you that "wan wan" (ワンワン) and "nyan nyan" (ニャンニャン) represent 'dog' and 'cat,' respectively.

In addition to that, there are several common expressions as the following:

Mō mō (モーモー) ・・・ 'cow' or 'bull.'

Poppo (ポッポ) ・・・ 'pigeon.'

Kokko (コッコ) ・・・'chicken.'

Bū bū (ブーブー) ・・・ 'pig.'

However, note that "bū bū" also means the sound of a car and the car itself.

I will talk about other baby talks tomorrow.
