nicknames
>> Tuesday, March 11, 2008
We were sitting in class today trying to focus on our language studies. It has been fun to share our adoption news with our Arab friends and teachers...more on that later.
Arabs are so cute; they're so sweet and loving. They have a pattern that they use for nicknames they put an "oo" sound in the middle of the name! We brought that up again today. I called Tim, "Teyoom" and he called me "Jeyoon." We asked our teacher how it would work with Yusef's name. She said, "Yesoof!" How cute! We've also noticed that when Arabs talk to babies they call them, "nuu nuu" (kind of like "new new") We can't wait to meet our little "nuu nuu!"
