What was your first word?

[Chris]

My partner and I were watching an old episode of the The Simpsons this morning which looked into the first word spoken by each of the Simpson kids. This lead to a conversation about our own first words.

My partner's first word was "Dada", but she only said it when her mum was present - went silent when her dad was around! She can be incredibly petty so we think this was very fitting for her.

My first word was "no". I'll begrudgingly admit this is fitting for me - I've always been a very stubborn person!

What was your first word?

 

[Dim]

Apparently mine was "Dah"

 

[nightglow]

Up.
An odd one but it is short so..

 

[VernalLapin]

Pretty! This happened when my mom showed me a flower from outside my bedroom window.

 

[Alolan_Apples]

It was my first name, but without the first letter.

 

[Doo]

Cardigan. I repeated it after my mum. Both my parents were present, otherwise nobody would’ve believed it. I don’t think anyone ever believes me when I tell them

 

[Kitsuragi]

i have no idea, but it was probably asdgbglbdlbnalfbalnflafb

 

[Croconaw]

It was Elmo, embarrassingly enough. I pointed at an Elmo, like, 50 feet away. That’s how we knew my vision was great.

 

[Asarena]

My first word was supposedly "mama" according to what my parents have told me

 

[QueenCobra]

“Dada” but that’s not a real word so if I get technical it’s probably “Mama” since I said that after “Dada.” (according to family)

 

[Neb]

My first word was “kitty.” My parents owned five cats when I was a baby and eventually I picked the word up after hearing them say it so many times.

 

[Tude]

Idk what it was but knowing myself, it was probably a bad word

By the way, The Simpsons is the best show ever!

 

[LadyDestani]

I think it was probably "Mama", but I'm not certain. Now I want to ask my mom the next time I talk to her.

My husband's first word was more interesting than mine will probably turn out to be. He saw the iconic Pizza Hut roof while they were driving by it and said "Pizza!"

 

[Midoriya]

I don't remember unfortunately, and no one ever told me. Oh well.

 

[Cirice]

It was an insult in my native language. Not my fault it's only one syllable so easier to pronounce, what else did you expect me to say first? /lh

 

[xlisapisa]

I’m pretty sure it was either mama or dada. I can’t remember that far back and I doubt my mom would have any memories of it to even ask lol.

 

[Firesquids]

My mom told me my first word was "Hi" my sisters first word was "no".

 

[.: Meri :.]

I skipped right past mama/dada and went straight to "hungry" for my first word LOL. (Although apparently it came out more like "hungy" because I couldn't quite pull off the "gruh" sound at that age.) I guess I was prioritizing communicating my needs first—at least my parents knew what I wanted from them!

Also a family friend of ours apparently tried very hard to try to get me to say "vulture" for my first word because he thought it'd be funny... I actually vaguely remember the alphabet mat I had that had "V is for Vulture" on it ahahaha. Despite all of this I still called them "circle birds" for years anyway.

 

[Saylor]

I had to ask my mom and the closest she could remember is me saying "baa" because I really liked sheep

 

[Aquilla]

My first word was "Haddi" which is not actually a word that exists in German.
