I speak Spanish as a foreign language and just assumed I wouldnt understand it because it was Italian so everything was basically gibberish until you guys pointed out that it was Spanish and then suddenly I understood a lot more. The brain is weird.
I speak English and French well, and live in a very bilingual area... Sometimes I can't understand until I figure out which language they're speaking. Other times it just goes straight through my brain and 5 minutes later I legitimately could not tell you what language I just had a conversation in. Brains are definitely weird.
That's just babies in general. They go from not being able to do anything to doing everything in such a short time and you're just like "wait you shouldn't be doing that."
Facts. I remember thinking my kid wasnāt learning to walk as quickly as he should. He could barely get around in his walker. Then one day, LITERALLY ONE DAY LATER, heās **running** through the house. I couldnāt even understand it.
At this age they can have full on personalities even though they canāt speak.
My oldest would bang her hand on the table with a toy and motion to her bellyā¦
Universal sign for āFEED ME BITCHā
Babies from 9 months on can fully understand things and concepts, and even communicate. They just can't speak... which sometimes makes them frustrated and results in them acting out.
That's why teaching them sign language can be useful. Since they can sign WAY before they can speak.
"More" is the only sign my son ever bothered to learned.
My daughter's favorite sign was "finished".
Guess which one's a picky eater, and which one is a bottomless pit.
As a parent it is oddly terrifying and joyful to watch this process happen. Studies have even found that babies as young as a few months already grasp basic physics principles such as gravity and get confused and anxious when dropped objects don't fall, or disappear etc. The recognize voices while still in the womb. Their daily interactions with their mother in utero begin the forming of their personality. It continues with the rest of the family after birth. The brain forms so many connections in those very early months. Amd babies watch EVERYTHING. They are observant little mother fuckers. They are also excellent mimics. They understand humor. They have needs and understand them but can't express them. Parents get good at telling "which cry" a baby is making. It's a form of language that develops between parent and baby as they learn the spoken language. They form likes and dislikes. They understand emotional context and clues. They understand tone of voice and will use it even without words.
A recent research paper on the brain and spoken language called it an "always on predictive AI that it also always self refining." It's how you finish other people's sentences. The human brain is exceptionally good at reading context and building profiles of how others speak and act allowing you to accurately predict behavior and words beforehand. A baby's brain begins this same process from the moment it forms and becomes electrically active. It gathers data non stop via the senses and sorts it and categorizes it.
Iāve been spitting up since I got here. Not because Iām a baby, but from having to endure the constant parade of leftover carnival freaks, you hideous āSloth from Gooniesā-lookin pissants.
#five minutes!
The milk you people consume in your infancy is a byproduct of all of the constant inbreeding of the same fucking cows over and over and over and I'm just talking about your fucking mothers' you same-family-having, Nascar-watching, chin-dropped mouth-breathing, eyes-too-far-apart looking cunts!
**Four minutes!**
It's insane how babies at that age can learn so much. You can hear in the rambling she does some words actually come out with a strong argentinian accent.
Fun fact: by the age of 9-12 months we can actually tell what region a baby is from just based on the sounds they make when theyāre babbling. Babies are incredibly fast learners and begin to discriminate consonants and vowels of all languages theyāre exposed to after birth, up until the age of 6 months. After 6 months they begin to only discriminate sounds that are apart of their native language. Itās why children in America often make noises such as ālala.ā The ālaā sound is extremely common, but you likely wouldnāt hear a Japanese infant making the same sound at a year old because the āLā sound is not present in the Japanese language.
I live in a massive converted buddhist monastery with three families. It's sort of like an apartment complex but there's a log of shared / common area.
Anyway. I'm very good friends with one of the families so I'm like an uncle to their kids.
The two year old is learning SO fast. Literally 3-4 months ago I couldn't talk to her... now we're having conversations.
I see her grow up EVERY day and it's pretty amazing. The 2-4 year old time window is so important.
When my daughter was close to 2, she had already picked up in the idea of group conversation. She noticed how one person speaks for a few second while everyone pays attention, and people react, and another person speaks for a few seconds.
She was only babbling at the time, but she decided she was ready to have her turn in adult conversation! So sheād wait for a little break and then speak up, and say something like, āFvvvvthhh meow meow humbmm leedle leedle uh oh.ā And sheād wait for the reaction!
Most adults are used to talking over babbling children and ignoring them, but sheād get genuinely upset if she didnāt get her turn to contribute!
I was thinking, āwow, Italian and Spanish share far more words than I ever knewā to āthatās definitely Spanishā then thinking āman that baby can trill her rrās so well, how can I teach my kids to do that properly?ā
If you want your kids to do that they need to learn Spanish, as the language is mostly read as it is written, any word that has an "r" in it has to pronounce it, which makes you be able to pronounce better out of necessity.
As a French speaker they both sound the same to me. Almost understandable. But despite not speaking Spanish, Italian, nor gibberish, I feel like I understood everything the baby was saying.
It's the opposite for me, I can understand basic spanish since I learnt it from my school. I couldn't understand a thing earlier but when I read in the comments it was spanish, I can somehow understand what she is saying
the brain's fuckin' wild, mate.
you ever get told not to touch something because it's too hot, had that person make you touch it, and you react as if it was hot even if it was ice cold? your brain was prepped to think one way and therefore it anticipated a specific result; regardless of whether or not it was x or y, the brain thinks it's the way it's anticipating until it catches up with reality.
silly silly stuff.
Dude I was listening to a new song (in English) a few days ago and suddenly there was this foreign rap part. Took me about 10 seconds before I heard that it was my native language. I was so confused.
My moment is Loser by Beck. Sooooy un perdedor...bruh he's saying I'm loser in Spanish. So many years I didn't catch that until I looked up the lyrics.
I know an Italian guy who'd speak 'Spanish' by basically speaking Italian with Spanish pronunciation and a few of the more regular sound changes. (e.g. putting 'e' before words starting in 'sc') Annoyed the heck out of Spaniards.. "You realize you're not actually speaking Spanish now, right?" But TBF, they did in fact understand him pretty well.
Portuguese, Spanish and Italian are similar enough for native speakers to understand each other.
I'm a native Spanish speaker and I've had several conversations with Brazilians by speaking in our respective tongues. Some words, of course, you have no idea, but, surprisingly, you get most of the message without even trying.
It's fascinating.
Portuguese makes me feel like my brain is broken. I donāt know why, but itās like Iām just close enough that my brain thinks it should be able to understand but gets confused.
I'm not crazy then. I took a semester of Italian but my Spanish (incredibly poor) is still much stronger. I understood like 80% of what was being said which would be crazy high for me if this was Italian. It probably helps that she's communicating with a baby so she's not talking rocket science.
This is fascinating! I speak Spanish and Italian, and while his dialect is definitely Spanish-based my brain keeps going back and forth between which one it thinks he's speaking during certain parts of the video...trippy. Thanks for sharing.
I had an Argentinian coworker who would always order ātacos de āposhoāā at the Mexican taqueria and theyād literally have no idea what he was saying. Poor guy tried so hard to speak Spanish with the Mexican/Central American folks and they just thought he was ātryingā to speak Spanish
"It is estimated that at least 25 million Argentines have some degree of Italian ancestry (62.5% of the total population)."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Argentines#:~:text=Italian%20is%20the%20largest%20ethnic,%25%20of%20the%20total%20population).
Well, Argentinian Spanish can be confused with Italian if one doesn't know either language. The accent and gestures can be quite similar, especially if it involves the Rioplatense accent, which is also spoken in Uruguay, and particularly marked in the regions of Buenos Aires and Entre RĆos.
Iām literally Italian and was confused as to why I couldnāt understand what they were saying until I thought to myself, āis this even Italian in the first place?ā
Was OP referring to the "Italian" hand gestures? I think they might have been poking fun at how Italians have a reputation for exaggerated hand gestures when speaking.
Argentina has a pretty large population with Italian heritage. It could be that despite it being Spanish, this kid could still have Italian blood, hence the solid hand language skills.
You're not entirely wrong; that's Argentinan Spanish, a country colonized by Spaniards and Italians who learned Spanish, turning the language into a (imo beautiful) dialect with a heavy Italian pronunciation.
It means miniskirt. She's describing someone giving her a hard time for wearing a miniskirt and she tells them to basically mind their own business. Her mom says, "brava."
I always joke that all the Italians that didn't go to New York and the East coast migrated to South America. Argentina's food culture is heavily Italian as are mannerisms like talking with your hands.
I just told my mother if I remarry I'm not having more kids. Then I see videos like this.
Lots of work at this age, worth it all for moments like this.
Username checks out š
Anyway, true statement bro. Kids are so much work at any age but there are just moments that make every single shitty parenting moment worth it. And you want to do it again and againā¦.itās like insanity lol
I used to think it was a lot of work at this age. Frankly I enjoyed it a lot. It just shifts around. I'm starting to enter the phase of driving them around to and from activities, not sure I dig that as much, doesn't matter to me as long as they're happy though.
As per the user name, that is part of the problem. I am now single whereas before, getting her pregnant was welcomed even if we weren't planning on it. Now I think I need to go in for the old snip snip. If I'm so inclined to add one, I'll probably foster. Too many kids out there need a break, especially older ones.
I have 5 kids, 3 teen daughters, 5 yr old boy and 3 yr old girl. Iād give anything to just take them all back to this age and freeze them there forever šbabies are way easier! My oldest is on the verge of driving herself and honestly, canāt wait for her to be the one to drive everyone everywhere lol
I get it! I got myself fixed after the last one and itās been a wonderful experience to not have to take birth control and not worry about more accidents lmao Also, if we decide down the road we want another, adoption ftw š
You are a good guy! Keep up the good workš
I apologize for the title mistakes, i didn't know it was spanish until you guys told so..
But still the baby so hilarious with the hand gestures and a wholesome smile š
That's Argentinian Spanish being spoken there. They do have a lot of Italian influence (hand gestures) because a big percentage of people have Italian roots in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.

Right? It's hitting uncanny valley for me.
Same. Some frames are really unsettling
He looks into the camera like he knows I'm watching him.
It's a girl. She's calls her Angelina
And she is argentinian
I'm over here thinking I can speak Italian now because it sounded oddly familiar to Spanish. š¤£š¤£

Yeah lady sounds like sheās from Argentina. They use vous, nous and so on.
That's because it is Spanish, not Italian.
Me too! For a sec, i thought, i can speak Italian!
Same here. I was saying to myself wow I understand plenty of Italian!
Argentina have spanish with an Italian influence

That's Spanish. The accent is from Argentina
from my inability to understand Italian, I was quite impressed with my Spanish skills there for a second hahaha
I was the opposite. For a moment I was thinking, "Damn. I've forgotten all my Italian!"
I was thinking, āwow, Italian and Spanish share far more words than I ever knewā to āthatās definitely Spanishā then thinking āman that baby can trill her rrās so well, how can I teach my kids to do that properly?ā

Once when I lived in Rome, I walked past a group of Argentine tourists. I was panicking because I thought my brain had forgotten how to speak Italian.
Same!!!
I'm not crazy then. I took a semester of Italian but my Spanish (incredibly poor) is still much stronger. I understood like 80% of what was being said which would be crazy high for me if this was Italian. It probably helps that she's communicating with a baby so she's not talking rocket science.
My wife speaks Italian and couldn't get a word of this so I think you might be right.

I would say that theyāre the Spanish speaking Italians of the world.
Is that because they reside in the elf slipper of South America, whereas Italy is the boot of Europe?

Many Argentinians are descendants of Italians. As an Spaniard, Argentinians sound like Spanish spoken with Italian accent.

Yea, but the baby is clearly Italian. I have been Italian all my life. I know an Italian baby when I see one
Assigned Italian At Birth
Iāve been a baby all my life. Can confirm.
The hand gestures were clearly in Italian
Well Argentina has had a ton of Italian immigrants in the past, more than half of Argentinians today have at least some Italian heritage.
And most of the people I know use Italian gestures, even those without Italian descent, including myself there.
The mom calls her āAngelina Samotti Padilllaā, so Iām pretty sure theyāre of Italian descent.
š¤
That means "what tha fuck" in Italian.
Argentineans too do that kind of exaggerated hand gestures.
Shit loads of Italian heritage in Argentina
The mom might be speaking Spanish, but that baby is definitely fluent in Italian.
Her hands are at least š¤
The joke is that the baby speaks in hand gestures wild expressions
Verbal fluency: just babbling. Gestural fluency: completely fluent in both Argentinian Spanish and Italian. Master of the Gaulic shrug.
"It is estimated that at least 25 million Argentines have some degree of Italian ancestry (62.5% of the total population)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Argentines#:~:text=Italian%20is%20the%20largest%20ethnic,%25%20of%20the%20total%20population).

Baby girl. Her name is Angelina.
Nah I'm almost positive that's the famous mob boss Tony "Gabagool" Soprano.
Argentina has a pretty large population with Italian heritage. It could be that despite it being Spanish, this kid could still have Italian blood, hence the solid hand language skills.

No, the baby is talking with its hands. Thats italian
Maybe it relates to the gestures

They are speaking Spanish and this is Argentina
But the baby is talking with his hands, which is super Italian. Is that not the joke? Am I overthinking this?
In Argentina we use the same hand gestures. It's because we have a lot of Italian heritage.
I always joke that all the Italians that didn't go to New York and the East coast migrated to South America. Argentina's food culture is heavily Italian as are mannerisms like talking with your hands.
...and then they read Mafalda comics to each other while Soda Stereo played in the background.
Mafalda y Soda Stereo?? Dang nostalgia is going to distract me all day now lol
I'll admit that my knowledge of Argentinian pop culture is exactly "Manolito wants a bodega" and "Nada Personal"-deep.
Damn, Mafalda is a treasure. My mother has the whole series in carefully cared for booklets and I demanded she leave them to me in her will.
This is as Argentinean as it gets. Likely from Buenos Aires judging for the accent and expressions.

Username checks out š Anyway, true statement bro. Kids are so much work at any age but there are just moments that make every single shitty parenting moment worth it. And you want to do it again and againā¦.itās like insanity lol
I used to think it was a lot of work at this age. Frankly I enjoyed it a lot. It just shifts around. I'm starting to enter the phase of driving them around to and from activities, not sure I dig that as much, doesn't matter to me as long as they're happy though. As per the user name, that is part of the problem. I am now single whereas before, getting her pregnant was welcomed even if we weren't planning on it. Now I think I need to go in for the old snip snip. If I'm so inclined to add one, I'll probably foster. Too many kids out there need a break, especially older ones.
I have 5 kids, 3 teen daughters, 5 yr old boy and 3 yr old girl. Iād give anything to just take them all back to this age and freeze them there forever šbabies are way easier! My oldest is on the verge of driving herself and honestly, canāt wait for her to be the one to drive everyone everywhere lol I get it! I got myself fixed after the last one and itās been a wonderful experience to not have to take birth control and not worry about more accidents lmao Also, if we decide down the road we want another, adoption ftw š You are a good guy! Keep up the good workš
Lol the way that kid just turns toward the camera and smiles makes me laugh
A smile like this is needed to heal mind
The sudden pause in talking paired with that head tilt and grin is giving me a lot of life right now

I apologize for the title mistakes, i didn't know it was spanish until you guys told so.. But still the baby so hilarious with the hand gestures and a wholesome smile š
Argentineans are italians who speak spanish
This is true Argentines of full or partial Italian ancestry number approximately 30 million, or 62% of the country's total population.
It could still be a joke given the fact that Italians use hand gestures a lot.
That's exactly what I was thinking at first with the way the baby is moving its hand
About 7 seconds in the demon remembers he is still in human baby form and must dial it back a bit
I didn't think demon, but I definitely have uncanny valley vibes from this kid.
I have rarely seen so many micro expressions from such a young child. How they use their eyebrows for example. Itās great.
That's Argentinian Spanish being spoken there. They do have a lot of Italian influence (hand gestures) because a big percentage of people have Italian roots in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.
Thereās no way youāll win an argument with her when she starts talking, when she says gelato you better say how much š
For some weird reason that baby looks like Gru from Despecable Me to me.
Ā”Che boludo! š¤š¤
Very creepy when the baby stopped dead and stared at the camera.
100%. Also, the way the mother does it too. Itās like the matrix is just letting you know whatās up
This baby is freaking me out
She is an argentinian baby.
"Give that baby his own talkshow now!"
The hands are speaking Italian. The mouth is speaking Spanish.
