A delightful moment of linguistic sass turned a simple mother-daughter conversation into a viral sensation, showcasing a five-year-old’s determined command of the English language.
The hilarious clip was shared by TikTok user @mama_lisah, featuring her daughter, Lisah, garnering massive views, likes, and comments from viewers who loved how she took offence at her mother’s pronunciation of a favourite treat.
The video begins with Lisah’s mom posing a simple question to her daughter in Zulu, asking if she likes chocolate. What followed was an immediate and fierce correction from the little girl. Lisah responded with a clear attitude, letting her mother know that her pronunciation was incorrect, stating firmly that the word is not “choc-o-late” but rather pronounced as “choc-let.”
Lisah schools her mom on pronunciation
Amused by her daughter’s confidence, TikTok user @mama_lisah pretended not to have heard the correction and prompted Lisah to repeat herself. The little girl, unwavering in her conviction, obliged with ease. To emphasise her point, Lisah even accompanied her linguistic lesson with an expressive facial gesture, solidifying her status as the self-appointed pronunciation police of the household.
