Copying words
I took my 2.2 year old daughter to the play area, where a bunch of 10-12 years old kids started using wrong words like "kutta,kutti,saala" for each others.
My daughter heard these words before I could leave that park.
Since then, she is laughing and saying kutta kutti, im asking her not to repeat but she is saying it more if i say no n telling her its wrong.
How do i stop her? Its worrisome.
She is very good at speech, communicates in full sentences now, copies n mimics everything we n others do.
Please suggest some tips so that she doesn't speak these words

Child doesn’t know the meaning of these words. Completely ignore. The child repeat words to get your attention. Avoid the child interaction with kids saying bad word. Say some new words for her. They usually forget if those words are not regularly repeated.

Don't react to the words. If you try to stop her, it will reinforce her memory. Just ignore her when she talks that way. She will slowly forget the words in a few days

Don't pay attention to it and distract with other things happening around. Kids are attention seekers and would love to do anything that gives them attention, be it positive or negative.

Try to explain to her that it is bad, and it makes people to feel bad and get hurt. Teach alternative words and engage her in play. Have some patience in explaining to her
