First Konkani word - Jaai (jaayi) meaning 'I want'
First real English word - Shoe, shes crazy about footwear !!
First Kannada word - Baa, means 'come'
Few other words that she says:
Ta-ta (neutral) = 'bye bye'. She also used to say 'by by' for this, but stopped it.
Taata (kannada) = 'grandpa'. Her paternal grandfather goes ecstatic when she calls him.
Ji (kannada - ajji) = 'grandma'. Her granny is still sad that she doesnt call her :D
Te (kannada - atte) = 'dad's sister'. Her atte makes her say it again n again.
Anna (kannada) = elder bro. She loves them both to bits.
Pa = dad. Supposed to be pappa
Mamama (konkani) = 'maternal grandma'. She says it only on the phone when talking to my parents.
Baw (English 'ball'). Technically this was her first English word, but she couldnt say the whole word... so lets go with shoe.
Bloon - meaning to say balloon.
Bot - bottle.
Her maternal grandpa is still waiting for his word - ajja to drop from her lips :) He asks her each time to say 'ja' atleast, but somehow she refuses, even though she knows to utter the phonetic 'ja'.
Nowadays, she talks a lot, but its all Chinese and Japanese to us, when she goes:
toi achi goti ba ta ta ata pa (not literally - but something to that effect).
