Mama tries to speak Russian

This video was taken a
month after we brought our daughter home. She would speak to us in
Russian and I'd respond (in POOR Russian) "Ya na boo-knee-my-oo" (I
don't understand). If you listen closely, I think she's telling me
that Papa understands and SHE understands.... this became a joke
later on. I didn't remember videotaping it, and always regretted
not doing so. I was pleasantly surprised to find this on the tape
after our Trip 2 video. If you understand Russian and can tell me what she's really saying, I'd appreciate it.

Yes, TrueLoveMSJK, that makes sense, because Papa is outside the window. I always thought she was saying Anzhela (her name) at 1:27. Didn't realize odela was "I've worn". Maybe she meant she was wearing that silly blue hat she's got hanging off her neck?

she says (i dont understand) - я не понимаю - Ya ne boo knee-my oo

[ColKorn1965]

If she says: "Skolka oo tebya yest deneg" she is about to ask for some money.

[TrueLoveMSJK]

lol I just realized what you meant by " Ya ne boo knee-my oo " LOL In transcription it would be like - Ya Ne Ponimayu - I don't understand

Maybe she's saying her name at 1.27 considering the fact that she was too little and couldnt spell properly both russian and eng, but I really clearly hear her saying Odela....and maybe she really meant that lace around her neck

She is so sweet. what city was she born?how old is she now? does she still remember russian language?

[TrueLoveMSJK]

Hey! What minute do you hear that "Ya na boo-knee-my-oo" thing?O_0

I hear shes saying something like - vot i papa at 0.07-0.10...which means here is my daddy or here is my dad coming, not sure if i hear it right though....and at 1.27 shes saying odela...it means I've worn...but what exactly she meant by that and what she has worn I honestly have no idea lol

Hope it helps

Actually there is nothing to translate, she is saying just "mama" "papa", also she's repeating after you "ya ne ponimayu" and saying her name in Russian - Angela
