How many syllables can your child remember and repeat?

[FrannyandZooey]

This is really amusing me today. I tried it after reading the MN 4 year email which said that a 4 year old could repeat a (I think) 4 syllable word. Tried it on ds and indeed he could. He enjoyed it and has asked me to say more and more difficult words for him to try and it is very very funny IMO

best so far:

disestablishmentarianism

I tried "anti-disestablishmentarianism" but he just said "anti......schtabment.....OH BOTHER "

ohh not tried but Ds is 3.5yrs hold on.

pmsl got anti ish establishment..pmsl

You really should have posted this in the G&T section, Fraany

Mine just said 'No mummy, I don't want to say that'

Mine did "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

But I bet BabyBoris can do Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysiliogogogoch

bumping this preposterous thread

ROFL!

DS1 could say Lamborghini when he was just two

Will try him later and see how he does with antidisestablishmentarianism.

He is currently walking round saying

"Onomatopoeic onomatopoeic onomatopoeic

You don't know what it means, Daddy"

Has he enlightened his dad, or is he wrong about what his dad knows?

lol I just tried onomatopoea (sp?) with ds and he got that, now he's changing it to onomatoteaa, onamatokea, onomatohea except he's pronouncing it as on a mat a hear etc.! , so more like individual words than syllables.Funny thread.

He just said no mummy I don't want to when I asked him to say antidisestablishmentarianism!! lol

i am very proud of my dd, at 21 months, learning to say trans-port-AH at the weekend (too much time on motorways).

DS3 has now mastered four one-syllable words .

oh that's great dino

"up", "down", "door" and "bath" (or "ba'")

LOL I am not sure if his dad does know or not singersgirl

I asked "can you say "supercalifrajilisticexpialidocious"
he looked like this

and said "No."

what a fine way to spend a birthday

I'll have you know he has had a fine old time today

it hasn't just been polysyllabic words you know, OH no

there have been chairoplanes and strawberry tarts as well, yes indeedy

I got dd1 to repeat forsythia
and I just got her to say harpsichordcarrier

Message withdrawn

she just said "what's that mum?"
I said my name.
she said " harpsichordcarrier "

Message withdrawn

Erm, ds is just managing 2 syllables atm... black-bird, ahhhh-round, etc.

I don't think I can say disestablishmentarianism

3yo DD can say parasaurolophus without missing a beat (it's a dinosaur btw, but then you knew that)
