Nothing, something

One of the first words I learned to say was “nai” which means “it isn’t here” or “don’t have” in Japanese. I picked it up when shopping with Daddy and he was looking for something and couldn’t find it. He said, “Nai na” and I started copying him and later on started using it on my own. “Atta” is the opposite and means “it is here” or “have” and I picked that up shortly after. I use these words on a daily basis when looking for things or pointing out things. Often this comes up when eating. I’ll point to my empty bowl to show Mommy and Daddy that I’m out of food and then I’ll follow that up with “more”. Today I was goofing around and talking about having nothing in my mouth and then taking a bite of bread and then having something in my mouth.
