Ruqayya keeps saying "hamma"....... does this mean anything in Arabic (she's 18 months old lol and picking up a few Arabic words) - my husband things she may be trying to say Muhammad :saw: mashaAllah... but I wondered if she's trying to ask for something and we're not understanding??? she can say maya baab and ummi in Arabic (and maybe some more that we haven't recongnised....?)

thanks for the replies :)

hmmmmmmmm.... she's still in nappies? but I was trying to potty train her but it wasn't working so I left it for a while. So I don't think she'd just be using the bathroom when she's at Arabic speakers houses lol... unless she's heard other children say it of course which is very possible. So yes it could be if the other small kids say "hamamah" or similar to say they want to use the potty/toilet and she's copying them............ :scratch:
