Question about tongues

So here is my question:

If someone speak in tongues and it's the same word over and word is that really God?

I mean, can you speak one word in tongues and repeat it several times?

Example: I have a brother that say E lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo messiah.

So he said two words in tongues and one word in English, correct?

There are languages that have so little inflection changes that it might sound like they are repeating the same word over and over, however, if the person is exercising their gift by faith, it is between them and their God how the language is delivered.

Unless God is revealing some issue of sin, I would recommend leaving it alone and keeping them in your prayers privately.

From my experience tongues is more of an "expressive" than an actual language with "words" and "phrases". For example, a baby's cry. A baby may cry and not utter an intelligible word, however the mother or father may be able to determine the "meaning" or "interpretation" of that cry, rather it be the childing needing food, attention, or to be changed, etc.

For example, I once heard a man speaking in tongues that sounded much like,

"Ma lalala lo key mo la la la la la la."

The gift of interpretation fell and the "interpretation" was, "Thus saith the Lord, I have visited you this night and found your praise a sweet fragrance. You have asked of me and I will answer...."

The "interpretation" continued for nearly a good 5 minutes. The tongues didn't last 10 seconds. The casual observer might say that it makes so sense for the tongues to be less than 10 seconds and the interpretation be nearly 5 minutes long. But they must understand it's an "interpretation" not a "translation". There are no "words" or actual "phrases"...it's like raw unhindered Spirit speaking through pure emotion.

I guess the important point to consider is that one cannot "translate" tongues....they can only be "interpreted".

It's also important to note that when people speak in tongues and are heard speaking in foreign language, most often everyone present hears them in their native tongue no matter what it is. For example a man may speak in tongues in a crowd that has people that speak English, French, Portuguese, Swahili, and Congolese....and all of them will understand him in their native tongue. But if the man were recorded he would only be heard speaking unintelligibly. In this fashion "tongues" often break the language barriers that are present such as at Pentecost.

I must say I'm not so sure about this.

Yeah, me neither. I don't think that's the case.
