Japanese translation please?
I have a japanese friend whose small child is quite badly behaved. When she doesn t want to do something, she lies down and yells something which sounds like "Ni yada" over and over again.
What is she saying when she does this? I can t find it in google translate.

What she's actually saying is いやだ (iyada), which as Alexa said basically just means they don't want to do something. It derives from an alternate reading of the kanji 否, which is normally pronounced "iie", meaning "no". The "da" is simply added as the casual form of the copula "desu". You may on occasion actually hear the expression "iyadesu" from particularly "proper" people, but most would simply just say "iyada".
It's a Japanese slang word, and most Japanese consider it childish (makes sense, since you're talking about a small child) it doesn't have an exact translation, but you say it when you disagree, or when you don't want to do something. The word yada basically means no.
