the meaning of "coo" Here are some sentences from an English poem:
The Baby's Secret
They(little folk) tell me(baby) tales of Fairyland which grown-ups cannot hear.
They(little folk) make me(baby) coo and chuckle when they whisper in my ear.
What does "coo" here mean? Does it mean some nonsense sounds a baby makes? Thanks.Last edited by reginaregina; 13-Aug-2011 at 17:28.

Teacher Re: the meaning of "coo" No, it's a bird's call: "coo, coo". We often equate it with the image of the "love bird" or innocent creatures hugging and making sounds, like a baby kissing another baby.

"Coo" is indeed used to refer to a baby's first sounds.
