Parents are quick to help a child give meaning to these early noises, telling them that mama means "mother" and papa or dada means "father." Children go along with the game, it seems, and before long they start using those words in just the right way.
両親は幼い子供に、「ママは母親を、パパは父親を」意味すると伝え、音の意味を早い段階で教えます。
子供たちはすぐに物の名前になじむようで、すぐにその言葉を使うようになります。
