Y for yatata-yatata. First time I look at this word in an online dictionary, suddenly I remember the time when my daughter tried to say her very first word. You know, that weird word and meaningless that I can’t understand because her mouth was so full with saliva (LOL)
But later I understand that Yatata-yatata has almost the same meaning with bla-bla-bla. Yes, the sound of chatter that we usually use when we saw people talking to each other in a very long time. You may have some clue about the topic at the beginning of the conversation, but later on, after a few hours, you start to lose any clue at all.
I think this is a kind of sound that you make when you make a long phone call to talk about some unimportant things. People around you will describe that conversation as yatata-yatata (lol)
Anyway, I dedicate this post to join the ABC Wednesday.

Hety, this is a GREAT word in any language.
ReplyDelete"A few hours"? Depends on the storyteller, but it COULD be a few minutes!
ROG, ABC Wednesday team
Kind of like filling in the unimportant details with "yada, yada, yada"! Hey, I should have used that for my "Y" word!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea for ABC 'Y'! It's the first time I've 'yatata yatata' but I know exactly what you mean!
ReplyDeleteIn this part of England we might say 'yackety yack' or just 'yack yack yack' and I know some Americans say 'yadda yadda'. How interesting to think of all the different ways to describe people talk-talk-talking!
On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week! :)
