horsie

"Horsie" is a name that you can use for a horse when you're talking to very young children. We have special cuter-sounding names for many animals that we teach children:

• "horsie" (horse)
• "doggie" (dog)
• "kitty-cat" (cat)
• "piggy" (pig)
• "birdie" (bird)
• "fishy" (fish)

The (animal) says (a sound)

When English speakers teach children what noises different animals make, they usually do it this way:

The duck says "Quack."

The cow says "Moo, moo!"

neigh

"Neigh" is the word that English speakers use for the sound that a horse makes.

• Cat: "Meow"
