A video of a cute boy correcting his mom’s pronunciation of the word “button” left Mzansi netizens both impressed and in stitches.

The footage was shared on Twitter by user @jah_vinny_23 and shows a lady holding a gaming console and asking the boy which button to press.

The child confidently responds by saying the word is not pronounced “but-on”, but rather “but-in” - in somewhat of a boujee foreign accent. The lady and others in the room can be heard laughing out loud in the background.

The funny clip was shared by popular social media user @kulanicool on Twitter and shows a boy seated in a car as he attempts to read the name, which reads: “The Amazambane Volkorust.”

“Amazanbane” is the IsiZulu word for potatoes, however, the boy's pronunciation of the word is in English and instead sounded like “Amaze-m-bane”. The man recording him in the car can be heard laughing out loud at the boy without even bothering to correct him.
