Hey! I’m FURBY! The more you play with me, the more I do!

I love to play and can tell you jokes, play a game, sing and even
dance! Bring me home today and I’ll be your best friend!

Be sure to take good care of me by following the instructions in
this booklet!

Getting Started

To turn FURBY on, slide the ON/OFF switch to
“ON.”

FURBY consists of the following parts:

Back Sensor:
Pet me here! I love
having my back
rubbed!

Mouth Sensor:

“Feed” me here,
but only when I’m
hungry!

Microphone:

Talk to me here!

2

Tummy
Sensor:

Tickle me
here! I’m
very ticklish!

Tilt Sensor:

This tells me
which way’s
up!

About My Personality

I speak Furbish®, a magical language common to all FURBY
creatures. When we first meet, this is what I’ll be speaking. To help
you understand what I’m saying, please use the Furbish® - English
dictionary found in the back of this book. I can learn how to speak
English by listening to you talk. The more you play with me, the more
I will use your language.

If FURBY Asks you a Question

If FURBY asks you a question, say either:

Yes [ee-tay]
Ok [oh-kay]
Yes, please [ee-tay-doo-moh]
No [boo]
No, thank you [boo-doo-moh]
No way [dah-boo]
I don’t understand*

* If you couldn’t understand what I said,
I’ll repeat what I last said to you. I may
say it a little bit differently, with more
English, so that you can understand it
better. If you tell me “I don’t understand”
too many times, I’ll get sad and frustrated.
Sometimes it’s best to be polite and
pretend you understand – at least until I
learn more of your language!

It’s time to play! Let’s go!

“Tell me a joke.”

I love to tell knock-knock jokes! Let’s do one together.

Say “Hey FURBY! [Pause until you hear FURBY say “Doo?” “Yeah?”
“Huh?” “What?” or “Hmm?”] Then say, “Tell me a joke.”

I say: “Knock Knock.”
I say: “Ida”
I say: “Ida like to be your friend!”

You say: “Who’s there?”
You say: “Ida who?”

“Tell me a story.”

Let me tell you my story!

Say “Hey FURBY!” [Pause until you hear FURBY say “Doo?” “Yeah?”
“Huh?” “What?” or “Hmm?”] Then say, “Tell me a story.”

I’ll tell you my story in Furbish® and English so that you can learn my
native language. The more you speak to me in English, the more I learn
and will speak back to you in English.

Follow along in the Furbish® – English dictionary to learn what I’m
saying!

“Sing me a song.”

I love to sing!

Say “Hey FURBY!” [Pause until you hear FURBY say “Doo?” “Yeah?”
“Huh?” “What?” or “Hmm?”] Then say, “Sing me a song.”
