A viral video shared online brought widespread laughter, showcasing an aunt's attempt to bribe her toddler into speaking English for the camera with a promise of R10 and pizza.
The clip shared by TikTok user @malesh994 garnered over 4.6 million views and widespread adoration, confirming that although the language may not have been English, the child’s confidence was undeniable.
The video begins with the aunt instructing the little one that she must only speak English, facing the camera, promising R10 and a pizza the following day upon her return from the doctor's appointment. The little one agreed enthusiastically, and her first order of business was to establish privacy; she immediately chased her little sibling out of the room so she could perform the challenge alone.
The R10 language challenge
Once the stage was clear, the toddler began her English-speaking performance. What followed was a hilarious stream of invented sentences that sounded nothing close to English, yet were delivered with conviction. The child confidently uttered fragments that only resembled conversational speech, including phrases like “big house,” “baby view,” “so back it,” “it’s not for me,” and “like it.” The entire conversation in TikTok user @malesh994 's video was delivered with an impressive, distinct accent that many users noted sounded close to the Mandarin language. The self-created dialogue was accompanied by confident hand gestures and expressive body language, committing to the role of an articulate speaker.
