Wait, I am switching now
Full conversation with Oma at the breakfast table, about the forthcoming trip to the zoo. All in German of course. Then BK2 goes:
Warte Oma, ich muss was zu BK1 sagen. BK1, kayen Eliott fi pre-school tai yeddi toujours "Dear Zoo".
(Wait Grandma, I must tell BK1 something. BK1, there is Eliott in my pre-school who always borrows "Dear Zoo")
Mother-in-law just looks bewildered!

What language(s) did BK2 use to speak to BK1?
ReplyDeleteThe sentence is a classic mix of Arabic and French with Arabic Grammar :)
